Steve, that bolt end is pretty neat, but I'm reallllllyyy disappointed in you none the less. I would expect that you'd have figured out how to engrave your naked lady logo on each as the topper! Come on man, you've set a very high bar.....now reach for it!!!!!!!!

I don't think one of Bob's beauties would grace any vehicle!
Steve I'm curious where you learned all this stuff too! And I agree with you 100%, that when you can find pre-70's machinery your buying an airloom piece that will last a long time, unless the words Lucus appear anywhere on it!!!!!

What i need is more Florida air

You guys ok ???

Yikes! Man it seems like you both are not feeling good. Don't know how you work in the shop when you are feeling ill! I hope Sue gets better soon and you too.

We are good. No problems here at all. Hope your health keeps on the upswing. Willy's is looking great as usual Don Jr.

Its infuriating,isnt it,Gary.. The guy has so many little tricks up his sleeve,its just mind boggling.. Its good to see the pix,though,cos at least we can folow what hes up to,,and try to copy him..Steve,,you are inspirational..(there,thats my second big word for the day)..
Steve(US),,havent seen a can of Lucas wiring harness smoke for years...I think Johnboy has one for his AC Cobra...

Well without this becoming as long as War & Peace here goes

I left school and started a precision toolmakeing apprenticeship, after 3 years i realised it wasn't for me, then i joined JW Automotive as a trainee, they were a race car company that ran the GT40's for Ford that came 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the Le Man 24 hrs race. after that i persued my interest in becoming a porn star.
Equipment wise i add as i need it, when i see something the right price i snap it up, i like to buy machines from the 60's as they are cheap and are extremely well built and generally are still very accurate.
A lot of what i do is made with a 4.5" angle grinder and hand tools though.

Bob you guys are way OTT with stuff

Seriously gt40's are about as cool as they come! Le Mans is one of my favorite movies with Steve McQueen.

Mostly bits & pieces done today, nothing worth a picture but i did get my headers done in white and wanted to see what they looked like so bolted them on with a few bolts, Its just the look i wanted.

nice looking set of tubes on their Steve! The three bar on the end of the cannon really looks good! Know what you mean on the bits and pieces work, sometimes a guy can work on a project all week and it looks like you went backwards on the progress!!!!!

Exactly how i felt today Dave, I managed to clear quite a few small jobs off the list and at teatime it looked like I had done very little !!!
