  1. Thanks again for all the nice words about the wheels. As for the machines we use a lath and mill started life as Sherlines we have modified them heavily and converted them to CNC. My son builds all the drivers, computers and software. The CNC router was all built by My son and I as will as the rapid prototype machine. I get must of the hard parts to make the machines from MSC and my son gets a lot of the electrical stuff from Mouser. we also have a lot of non CNC tools in the shop. Sorry for the long answer to the question. Thanks
  2. Even if Wayne is wrong about the mags those are some great photos. Thanks Wayne
  3. Very Nice, I love old Fords and love drag cars.
  4. Thanks George, now I know what to look for.
  5. I have not seen the Tomb Raider Jeep Wrangler Rubicon before. I have been looking for something like it for years to do a copy of the jeep I drive every day. Is it a die cast and what scale is it?
  6. With the CNC lath I can make a curve by giving direction of rotation, x and z start, and x and z end point and the radius to use to make an inside curve. Before CNC I had ground the radius on cutting tools but the finish will need some sanding to look good. What wheels are you making?
  7. What is the round thing in the middle of the back door?

  19. I spent about 12 hours yesterday making wheels. When I close my eyes I still see wheels spinning.
  20. The resin will absorb moisture and get lumpy as for the RTV it also will absorb moister witch will then go off quicker. I hope this helps.
