Machining hotrod parts---
I hang out a lot over on the HAMB (have to get my daily dose of abuse and vilification). A fellow named Paul from Vegas had put up a post, mentioning that he had put new underpadding and carpet in his '51 Studebaker, and now his floor mounted starter switch was too short. He was wondering if you could buy an extension anywhere. Since its still colder than a witches tit here in Ontario, and because I am suffering from terminal boredom this weekend, I volunteered to make an extension for it. I had a peice of 15/16" cold rollel steel laying in my scrap bin, so I chucked it up in my lathe, put in a 7/8" counterbore, and in no time had a nice little extension peice made for him. I think that this is actually the first peice of hot rod related machining I have done since buying my lathe and mill last year. On Monday I will go see the post office Natzis and find out the cheapest way to send it down to him.
