@Cairo94507 @TheRuttmeister Cool as the Mini is, let me just say: SPOILER ALERT! Because once the Mini is gone, a VERY special car will be arriving At The Red Barn for some minor fab work. I plan to cover it in its own episode (assuming the owner is OK with that) but for now, I'll leave you with this teaser shot. Details to follow... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) @tygaboy Your car looks fantastic. Great work. I made some LED boards a while back for a guy with a 348. He may have done some customizing of the fixture on his car. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Never fails, I usually see some cool or unusual tool while
watching your video. And you did not disappoint. Making up the fuel lines you went off to the vise and there was a wonderful tool. Those vise jaws for the line fittings, had me forward and reversing the video to get the perfect pause to study it. If there is a tool God, one of those please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) @tygaboy |

A few steps closer, a lot more to do, including working on my Italian accent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I really look forward to and enjoy watching Chris at work; he makes this stuff look pretty easy. (I know it is not.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Making some progress. Sure seems like slow going, and it all takes longer than I think, but we're getting there.

This weekend's progress slowed due to helping out at the 000 Magazine "Turbo 50" event at Summit Skywalker Ranch. Celebrating 50 years of the boosted 911. @horizontally-opposed Pete and the 000 crew did a spectacular job!
If you have the opportunity to attend anything 000, don't miss it. This was a simply incredible display of cars, milling about with super cool people and enjoying wonderful food and drink. My wife LOVED it and she's not much of a car person! I got some video so watch for that but for now, just a few pics. And remember, these were all pics taken by me during set up. Larry Chen was there doing his usual incredible job so you'll find actual "photographs" of the event if you check Insta and other 000 Magazine social media channels. Attached thumbnail(s) |
