I have to thank a good friend for the tire machines - he used to have them in a shop, but due to a career change, need a place for "long term storage".

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You'd think we just sit around and detail our cars... so at least they're clean when the IMS fails.
I gave mine the "full monty" saturday. It looks like a million bucks! Did the clay bar, rubbing compound and polish. I had a hard time capturing the 914's reflection with the camera, but I tried.
Good eyes, Ed!
Even heated with waste oil! I have a Bridgeport mill, too, but that's out of the picture.
You know, I don't have a picture of the scale car collection - I'll have to take one. What I really have to do is unpack the rest of it... I have a lot more, but they got boxed up when I moved (ahem... 6 years ago!). Another summer project...
LOL @ six years.... I get it though, its tough!
nice to have a little mill and lathe, I can use mine at work but sometimes I need it NOW or need to "fit" something up.. that's when its a pain running back and forth. For me its a little too much like bringing work home so I opted to not have anything in the garage....that and nothing else would fit!!!

Not a bad idea, Scott... not a bad idea. I almost made some video of detailing the car, but I figured two things: 1) most people know how to do that; and 2) people don't want to watch a bald guy wash a car... they want:
On a serious note, I might quit my job and buy a powder coating company...
Van:
Now you got me thinking that you could produce a couple of "girls gone wild" style p-car wash dvds, show how to really detail all those nooks and crannies, wash off rub, wax on, rub some more, and the like.....you know......should see about taking applications for qualifying "wash techs".....I bet you could sell a few dvds...........
Wait a second I was seriously distracted, (I'm a visual learner)....you're gonna pack in the bright lights of THE big city.........buy a powder coating company?????!!!!! WOW, that is a big move.......what, then you will be able to write off the racing bits and pieces, since the race car will have the company name logo and be the advertising format........hmm, the new tag line will be????? "Powder coat, not "raincoat" is a better prophylatic"...whatta ya think?

Scott
Hmmm, power room, sounds like it could be messy...you might have to spray cologne and give away hand ......towels......careful, I wasn't going there........Okay, so, I'm game.....let's see, who can come up with the best name....anyine else have any thoughts?
BTW: Thankx Van for the light re-set. I had a freakin' blast today! 1st Auto-X and yes, I am hooked. Simply amazing fun!
