Pretty amazing what you can train bots to do....

[DanStokes]

Odds and ends:

First of all, filling the rear quarters involves saving some holes for top and/or tonneau fittings. It's easy to lose them...

[DanStokes]

That's got to be a rare piece. A little bit of aviation history.

I'm OK with the C4 front but it's not a favorite.

[DanStokes]

Bot? Sounds like it, parroting back my post....

On to the other side.

Here's the groove after grinding off the bead and cleaning out the groove as best as possible. Note that at the bottom...

Kind of a breakthru:


One of the guys on the MG Forum suggested I try stripping discs and they're a home run though they make a lot...

Interesting - but WAY out of my price range! Hope they have a great meet. I wonder why they're limiting the entries at such a low number - seems like...

[DanStokes]

Looking at the rot - were those made in England?...

[DanStokes]

Sandblaster works but it IS work to operate. The handle mod seems to be just the trick as it strips pretty well. I've reused the garnet media several...
