    Guess who came by the shop today?!

    It was a special treat to have Nathan Flannell and his family come by. I have always respected his work, tips, and advice. Ever since joining his write ups and amazing turn arounds impressed me. The guy can literally turn trash into treasure. It was great talking shop and having something rare...

    Write ups offline to upload. Todd?

    I've been wanting to get some write ups done. My time is limited online on the computer. I'm having horrible upload times due to damage to the line between house and pole underground.

    A little project I've been working on.

    Been working on this BMW. It has a VW motor transplant. It was the first prototype which later conversions were sold. It was missing a headlight bezel for the custom gauge cluster. Later conversions reused the original cluster. I think this was built to monitor and make sure everything worked...

    2012 Triumph 675 R Daytona

    Here is one of my quick winter projects. The finish was color sanded with 2000 grit. Polished with M105 then 205 on Megs MF polishing pads. All with the Rupes LHR15.

    Some people amaze me.

    The past couple days my wipers have been acting funny. I replaced with refills 3 months ago. I assumed I might have purchased too thin of blades. I went to Advanced to get the thicker ones. Upon closer inspection I noticed the whole arm had been switched both sides. Walk around back same thing...
