6 yrs old fixin 60 yr old iron



Throck came to the shop with me today to get some work done.  I showed him a bunch of things about using a Mill. We machined the ends of these shocks for Jordan's SR500.  Then we worked on getting the valve guides out of my truck block.  I centered the endmill for him & he did the rest. By milling 3/4 of the way thru the guide it gives you a fresh counterbore to drive against & also releases some tension so it slides out of the block easier.
It worked pretty slick & we had fun!
