Getting lots more done on the car.. but most of it is behind the scenes sheetmetal work and nothing that is overly photogenic.
We did manage to stumble upon this beast which is a welcomed addition to the shop. Have been wanting one of these since I saw my first one in action. Did not really “need” it, but the price was waay lower than they usually are as the place was closing down. Needs a bit of work and a good cleaning but other than that should be productive in the coming weeks. It is a Bridgeport Series 1 mill (All 1800 lbs of it). Now just need to get the phase convertor up and running to get 3 phase in the garage. Have most of the parts and pieces to make a 5 hp rotary converter as I have been collecting off Ebay/Craiglist for a couple of weeks. I have a friend who got one of these machines last year and it came with a dolly.. he was about to send it to the scrapyard.. so I put it to good use.
