and i hope to get some engine machines and head surfacing table
in the next year or two.
my dad was a machinist before he became a full time mechanic about 10 years ago. and i like learning that kind of stuff. im big into the dying arts like leading, pinstriping. and stuff like that. i would rather use old school equipment for personal use but if it is aliving give me something faster.
You know that most OEM's use billet aluminum bodies durring prototype development to verify fit / finish of interior components? How do I know? I sat in an aluminum 2007 Sebring about 2 years ago when i worked at Chrysler.
I made a billet piston once on the mill and lathe. It turned out pretty good.
