Look what I had to fix?? Chevy drag racers?? Sheesh?
« on: June 11, 2009 - 10:59:49 PM »
I have a bridgeport mill, lathe, mig and tig welders and a bunch more equipment in my garage. Comes in very handy. I make a few bucks on the side machining, welding etc... Pays for Dodge parts! :roflsmiley:
Anyway this guy whom I have done a few jobs for in the past comes over with this blower intake for his rail dragster. "Someone" had tried to lower where the distributor seats on with a DISC GRINDER??? Yikes power tools in the wrong hands are dangerous!! :roflsmiley: So I had to bore it flat again and in the right angle. He looked a little sheepish when I said what morron did that? :smilielol:

The end product looks good.  :2thumbs:  Would be good to have around and I can see how it comes in handy to pay for the parts as well.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I'm envious of the equipment. I have all of the cutting tools and whatnot, just nothing to use them in. As for "in the wrong hands", I think it's hit or miss as I've worked with plenty of "trained journeymen" in my short time that sure as heck should know better. :eek4:
