Default '32 ford anyone?

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/...ntcmp=trending

According to Ford, these '32 Coupe reproductions are exclusively
licensed to United Pacific Industries, which rolled out a flawless
5-Window replica at SEMA 2013. Each shell is stamped from virgin metal,
then welded and assembled using modern manufacturing techniques. This,
along with supplementary rustproofing, keeps the new Deuces from warping
and wearing as the decades roll past—ideal for builders, though we do
love a good 5-Window rat rod. Each part comes with an official Blue Oval
tag.

Ford doesn't have its own prices for the '32 5-Window body up yet, but
you can expect to pay around $20,000 for a steel United Pacific
Industries shell. Of course, you'll still need a decent frame to build
off of, plus a 327-cid small-block should you want to relive all those
John Milner American Graffiti fantasies.

That's curious. Is there something else that it could be stamped from?

Yep.
Virgin metal means it is steel with no recycled metal added.

As opposed to steels which contain recycled steel as well as virgin metal.

Or "chinese steel" that has Melamine in it - - -

Virgin steel comes from downright, disgustingly ugly iron ore,
and
homely coal! ;-)



Yup , and virgin wool comes from the fastest lamb in the flock .

How do you explain Extra Virgin Olive Oil??


Extra-virgin olive oil Comes from virgin oil production only, and is of
higher quality: amongst other things, it contains no more than 0.8% free
acidity (see below), and is judged to have a superior taste, having some
fruitiness and no defined sensory defects. Extra-virgin olive oil
accounts for less than 10% of oil in many producing countries; the
percentage is far higher in the Mediterranean countries (Greece: 80%,
Italy: 65%, Spain 30%).

Virgin olive oil Comes from virgin oil production only, but is of
slightly lower quality, with free acidity of up to 1.5%, and is judged
to have a good taste.

Refined olive oil is the olive oil obtained from virgin olive oils by
refining methods that do not lead to alterations in the initial
glyceridic structure. It has a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, of
not more than 0.3 grams per 100 grams (0.3%) and its other
characteristics correspond to those fixed for this category in this
standard. This is obtained by refining virgin olive oils with a high
acidity level and/or organoleptic defects that are eliminated after
refining. Note that no solvents have been used to extract the oil, but
it has been refined with the use of charcoal and other chemical and
physical filters. Oils labeled as Pure olive oil or Olive oil are
primarily refined olive oil, with a small addition of virgin-production
to give taste.

Olives that are so ugly, that the pickers wear blindfolds.

Carbon Steel" anymore.

Apparently, Swea' Pea was a foundling, left on Popeye's doorstep.
Popeye named him "Swea' Pea" as it would be a better name than what he
figured would be Olive's choice: "Baby Oyl".
So we's both wrong.
