I was a little puckered while running the mill for the chassis slots after what happened to yours

Nice work, but what's with the little boy hand and the offset tattoo?
I thought you were a manly man!
I'm only hoping it's your kids hand with a Six Flags day stamp on it!

Carnies always smell of sausage and have little hands, plus I was drunk when I did that tattoo to myself and using my left hand ( so it felt like someone else was giving me the tattoo ) so I thought it was close enough.

Sorry, we leave tomorrow to go back home, and the wifey packed the camera and parts
It's a small Bridgeport copy, kinda loose and innacurate--you need to know this machine's good and bad qualities or you really make mistakes
I have been making mistakes on it since 2004

No problem just like to see what different lathes and mills different people use. It didn't look like you made any mistakes on your tub, nice work there.

It's not really bad, but when you measure in ten thoulsandths a little wobble in the deck at the endpoints means a notchy cut

Reg, I'm thinking those rear hubs are going to snap easy!

Reg you did really well considering the problems with the machine. I learned a valuable lesson with the chassis, Don't push it! I tried going really deep and suffered big time. I perfectly good chassis was ruined that day.
Your car is looking great and I wish I could make it to the Vonats to meet everyone as well as check out all these cool cars you guys are bringing. As of right now, there is no way I will be able to make it.

I think her maiden run comes tomorrow, so I guess we'll see
but I did find a set
of the Racers Edge hubs in the 75% off bin today
So now to get the correct B44 CVA's
( if the hub/drive system has any trouble )
