OMG he's back ! Ha ! I told you he was alive or we'd have heard the explosion.

Yay !!!

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/


Edit - In my excitement of our resident crazymans return I forgot to add how epic that charger looks. i remember following the thread of when he got it and it looked, well, 'ambitious'. The first inkling that we were dealing with someone different here was the self-constructed rotisserie and diesel blasting setup. Anyone remember that ? Didnt he make an oven too for something ? And a dozen paint-stripping guns to bend plastic ?
Seriously - that car. Wil, it looks amazing. Cant wait to see it for real.

I want to see a photo of DaveB with his wallet out, and taking money OUT, not putting it IN - that would be (rare) sight!

I wipe my lathe down with a spray oil such as AC90,WD40 etc then go over the lathe bed, saddle, cross slide with air tool oil.

I wouldn’t use ACF 50 for a lather bed, as it dries without leaving any residue.

For my lathe & Mill, I just use a light oil, such as spindle oil or even hydraulic oil will be fine
