Re: Shop Tricks
Car & Driver, Motor Trend, and all the rest raved about the independent rear suspension, saying it handled like a BMW with raw power to spare. The Mustang passed the 50 year mark. Some things do get better with age

Re: Shop Tricks
There’s a guy in town here that has a 2018 with cams and a tune and some kind of exhaust (Magnaflow maybe) and it sounds like a true old muscle car. Havent seen him breaking any laws with it... but it sounds BAF when he takes off from a light.
I agree they got the looks right on this one, but around here I’m not seeing it flying off the lots. |

Re: Shop Tricks
She is bad to the Bone. The Borla exhaust just roars to life when you get on it. It's every bit a muscle car. And it has more power & better handling than any of the old cars ever dreamed of delivering. We drove to school in the old cars.

MAGNETIC VICE JAW PADS
These plastic pads are designed to prevent steel vise jaws from marring machined surfaces, soft metals and wood. They feature strong magnets to securely fasten over 4 to 5 in. jaws. I bought these at Princess Auto (in Canada) for under $5 and they are great for working on materials that you don't want to damage the surface finish on. IMG_9315.jpg IMG_9316.jpg IMG_9317.jpg |

Re: Shop Tricks
In the olden days in the machine shop, we used leather( slipped pretty easy) aluminum ( worked pretty well) and sheets of lead. ( well . . . we didn’t know )
This looks like something developed by someone who actually used those other things . Thanks! |

Re: Shop Tricks
Seeing ThreeCW's images, i think my next shop trick tool will be a Cat tree! perfect for holding photographic subjects ready for that one true shot.

Re: Shop Tricks
Every shop / barn needs a cat tree ... complete with a few pussies ... those cats need to look out the window on the cold days

I think that I remember them too ... "olden days" used to be the 30's and 40's ... then became the 40's and 50's. Current reference for the "good old days" may be different. |
