What time is early? When does it "technically" start?

Austin huh!! That is cool, who knows this may be the re-birth of the Southewest series.

Unfortunately I have business travel over the weekend, otherwise I would join the crew. Next time for sure.

Just got myself a CNC lathe so we can start cranking out some custom made stuff for the cars. Any ideas?

OK Herman, you just blew your chance at getting frebbie custom made parts dude

It's going to be fun patching up that old clunker I bought. Who knows I may be bitting more that I can chew with this benchtop lathe. It is an EMCO Compact 5 PC. I am also getting Autocad Inventor to design the parts and Bob-Cad to generate the CNC code. Yes, I can do cad design and develop CNC code. Machining...... well it's been almost 20 years since I last touched a lathe or a mill, but I'm hoping that it's like riding a bike. In any case I'll let your car be my guinea pig, just in case.

I can't make it on Sunday, I got overseas business travel this weekend. So I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks.
