Default To Keep or Not To Keep: Fiberglass Pieces
Question: I have the lower fiberglass section of grill area of my '64. It's really just the piece that is under the grill trim, but only the bottom side. Should I keep it?

I have it with my trash right now to go away tomorrow

Unfortunately, I'm cursed to agree. Someday you might need a couple square inch piece of fiberglass for a repair and there it will be - if you remember you have it. I have a couple pieces of cut off fiberglass sitting in a box somewhere.

Okay, okay. I went down and retrieved it. Add it to the pile of stuff I have going.

My son calls me that every day, but, believe it or not, I sell a bunch of it every year, and use a good part of it too.
