For Cees’ Next Adventure
« on: January 31, 2022, 13:06:45 »
Because turning your California garage into a convertible body shop and paint booth just isn’t that adventurous any longer…

A backyard or driveway foundry sounds challenging!

Seriously, who doesn’t want to cast their own manifolds!  ;)

That looks like proper 'next level' stuff indeed Michael. Don't think I will ever head in that direction, metalworks and painting will be exotic enough for years to come I'm sure.
So much that a person can get into these days, especially with the generosity of the youtube world.
