If there’s a dream shop many/most/all of us would have if we could, it would be yours Don. Good for you for having all the gear to do what you love. Thanks for sharing the projects with us. John (in Connecticut)

Just read this stem to (present day) stern. It almost hurts my mind, it’s all so clever and well executed. That you can maintain your focus and stay with it amazes me. On a logistics note, I was wondering how much industrial ie welding gas you go through? Must be a lot. Huge respect and...

Thanks as always Robert for sharing your world of utter excellence with us. I always learn something when I stop buy, even when it’s you making the impossible look plausible. John, in Conn.

SEM products are excellent for recoloring either to original or a color change (e.g., beige to graphite or black) and with gold basic prep work, more durable than you might imagine. “Color Coat” is the product line you’d want to use and jobbers who carry it can mix it into quarts; it’s a one...

One hundred pages ... of awesomeness. thanks for your sharing, teaching and overall generosity. John, in Conn.

Excellent BeeEmDubya and excellent work you’re giving it. I’m doing an 87 Porsche 924S; similar era and components, still the time before both companies (and M-B) went on cost-reduction drives. As you know, these can do almost infinite mileage. I seem to remember that the e34 body was designed...

Gentlemen, what a beautiful thing to be able to read this discussion and learn how you think. I'm in my mid-50's and have worked for family owned businesses and two large Japanese corporations (which nonetheless work with family-owned businesses). Never truly had the desire/guts/stones to own a...

Pat, on that killer intake manifold, how do you figure out the angle to mount those two stands for throttle linkage pivots? Thanks, John

KB, magnificent work, especially to this guy who had a 62 Midget, then 67 TR4A IRS before arriving at Alfa's. I too find it satisfying to clean and bring back high quality old parts. Much admiration. John

That (the replacement screws for the brake) is really cool. John

I grew up only knowing about European race cars, thought all this going round in circles stuff was primitive. Then I grew up a bit and realized how much artistry, engineering and skill went into this kind of car. This car and your work on it is seriously cool. John

Such beautiful work you produce and work conditions you maintain. John

Reminds me of the opening scenes of "Slumdog Millionaire". (Brutal movie.) John

Is your 140A welder a 110V machine? I had a 130A Cebora 110V MiG from 1988 until this past summer, when I finally got a (1987) Miller 200... a big blue SOB. I know, like going from a moped to a real motorcycle...but with the 110V unit, did it really give 130A? If so, it must have been at about a...

Impressive as always...making tooling to press that hood strengthener; the welding... "a step above", to be sure. John

Nasty, it's been a while since we've heard from you; I hope all is well. John

Very sanitary work. John

Wow! That's some big boy pants stuff. Nice work as always, John

You got some excellent stuff done, I'd say. Nice garage! Dogs will be grateful! All good... Do what makes you happy. John/CT

Excellent and much appreciated.
