excellent ... the precision ballpean hammers are great for disassembling finely put together electronics

I still have to do the cap and rotor on mine, but the battery is dead on the car so i really dont feel like doing much of anything to it.

Sorry for the hijack, but.....

you have an english wheel! where did you get it? How much was it? Do you like it/what don't you like about it? I didn't get to use the one out at school as much as I had wanted to, but I really want to pick one up and try to get better at it.

I like it, I am still learning how to use it. My dad got it a few months ago from Eastwood Company. Since im not too good with it yet i cant say what i like or dislike, but its definitely fun. I have only made stupid crap so far, nothing important, but Once we get rolling on his project we are going to need it alot. The car will have alot of metal work to be done, and they dont make body panels for the car.

Ian · 05-08-2005, 11:25 AM

yeah, I made the bottom half of a 32 ford coupe door out at school for one of the instructors using the english wheel. Metal fabrication is fun as hell!

bad64chevelle · 05-08-2005, 11:31 AM

Yeah i love it. I made patch panels for the chevelle and what not, but they were no big deal, however with this 33 plymouth there is going to be alot of fabrication to do, especially with rounded fenders and what not. When i get back into messing around with it ill let ya know, maybe ya can drop by here and see what you can do.
