Jack Mehouff n Sons? - Jack Me Off? Well Played...:thumbup:

Nice - I love motor swaps, and the LS Series is awesome for it. We did an LS1 in an E46 Wagon about 6 years ago that ripped like no other - It had all the amenities (A/C, Power Steering, Etc) and even had all the gauges in the BMW cluster that worked flawlessly. It was one of my favorite...

I plan on using it on various automotive projects - turning down a wheel spacer, making busing inserts, tapping and threading, etc. Nothing indutrial or needing super high tolerances - basically just a hobby machine. Think this would be an a decent setup?

I think after I check it out and make sure it is complete and in working order, 450.00 would be a fair offer.

So one of the guys I work with has a PowrKraft 64TLC-2130 lathe that he is looking to get rid of. It was his dads, and he knows nothing about it or what its worth, and I cant seem to find any info on it as far as value goes. Whats this thing worth? Is Powerkraft a decent manufacturer?

Hey, If I like the progress of the shop, is there anyway that I can become a fan on facebook? :bounce:

Neighborhood Associations are awesome if you are a nit-picky old ******* / bag and have nothing better to do than drive around your sub-division and look for people with a broken fence board or a mailbox painted a color not up to the HOA standards. I pay 250.00 a year to maintain a crappy...

I wish i still had this as a daily driver - 82' honda civic hatchback with a 95 injected and turbocharged 1.6 honda motor in it. I wish I would have left it N/A and just driven it - got great milage, was surprisingly quick, and blew honda guys away (not a very easy swap for this year of...

I carry a Superknife - I like the razor bladed knives, and I really like the fact the blade is replaceable. I worked in an automotive shop for 7 years and I had a hard time carrying an expensive knife that I knew I would drop, scratch up, and use to cut oil lines, rad hoses, zip ties, etc. I...
