My Geny.

Man that Stang is a beauty. And X code 390 2V very cool. Is it a C6 car or 3-4sp? Teardrop hoods look cool on those cars too. A most excellent choice for the 427!

Great looking car!  I like the yellow, Howie, but it needs some really bold, black striping, down the hood and on the side.  It doesn't look bad with just that black glass hood on it, though.  I always kinda wanted a 65 Comet Cyclone painted yellow with black accents.

Another big step for the new shed.
Got the power hooked up. 230 single phase 200 amp service.
I have to step up to 600 3 phase for the lathe and mill. Not a problem though.
I plan on using a rotary phase converter to 230 3 phase then another step to 600 3 phase with a transformer.
I just need the converter as I have the transformer.
Need to power up the compressor and welders now. Ye Ha!

I've never seen a meter with all zeros before...

[ScotiaFE]

Well I have the generator now.
Very Happy!
I opted for the 10 HP. Should do just fine with the lathe and mill.
Even managing to get some work done on the Stang.
I love when the 68 and 08 are together. Very Kool comparison.
It should look really neat with the 68 a close blue.

 Love the setup you've got there Howie.  Not just the Geny but the whole place.  Damn good job man!

I look at the shop setups some of the folks here have and am seriously green with envy. I do all my work in my driveway which is very narrow.. on a slight grade and is paved in uneven asphalt. You guys suck.  Seriously though.. very nice!. 

[ScotiaFE]

Thanks Wade.

I've been following your TKO saga.
Glad you opted for the custom D shaft. You will be much happier.
To bad your not going live. It would be a hoot watching you go at it. That would be way better reality TV then the crap on TV.
Well Kirstie still has it going on.

Trust me, I've spent my time laying on gravel in the middle Febuary in the frozen north.

Many years ago I had a pretty good sized shop. About 2800 sq ft.
I had a few service contracts and made a few products for a couple of other shops.
Any ways I closed the shop. For lots of reasons.
I put some tools in storage and just kept telling myself I will get them running again.
Considered selling them a few times.
Well tens years got behind me.
Today they turned under power. Woo Hoo!!!
Takes a bit of work to generate 600 Volts 3 Phase in the shed. LOL
They only have a small space, but I never plan to do any REAL work with them.
Just hobby stuff.
The Lathe.
The Champion 1550. 7.5 HP
Pretty much booted and spurred.
Bison 10" steel chuck, Dickson Quick Change.
All Attachments and boxes of tools for it. Very Fast Machine.



The Mill
Big First. Fully Booted and Spurred.
5 HP VS Head, 40 Spindle.
10 X 50 Table with power drive.
Have the Big Narex Boring Head
Big ass Vise off an old planer which I actually used at one time. lol
Very Capable Mill.



Sure they could use some digi stuff but it does not make the machines any more accurate or even faster if your an old school hack like me. lol
Anyways I'm a happy camper today.

[jayb]

Lookin' good, Howie.  What are you gonna whittle up first?

[ScotiaFE]

I have a set of Ed's I'm going to give the best tune up I can on them. lol
I have an idea for a pretty kool set of valve covers I've been wanting to do for some time.
Once you get started it just never ends.
It's like your big mill, your dreaming up all kinds of goodies.
Today I'm going to fix my wheelbarrel.  It has a flat.

LMAO Howie! 

[ScotiaFE]

Look what I dug out of the junk pile.
I made the jig along time ago for a job I was doing.
With a bit of rework it should do very nice as a FE head jig.

[jayb]

Howie, are you going to fixture that so that the head bolts to the torque plate and it will then rotate in those bores?
