How do I clean a magnesium engine case at home on the cheap? I know soda blasting will work, but I don't have one of those machines siting around...

My new coffee table.

My only suggestion is probably not legal there and you wouldn't want to use it in a confined space.....


Just pony up for a bead blast.

Just looking for some alternatives. :) It's a cold, rainy Saturday night at home.

Morning dudes!


Dave, soda blast or spit shine and elbow grease....

Dave- do you have an air compressor in the garage? If so, I'll come up and we will rig up a soda blaster- I can make from from some common household items, macguyver style...


when I am more sober. long live hermosa saturday nights.,..

Morning guys, Dave I see your place is furnished by the same person who did mine. :).
I haven't done the trans in the bath tub yet but I have done a number of carbs on the coffee table.

Just a late Sunday afternoon bump from page TWO!

The weather was amazing today It was something like 76 degrees today just 4 degrees below the record. The bad news is that winter is coming. It is supposed to be around 20 degrees on Thanksgiving morning.

I am pondering what project to come up with for the long 4 day weekend. Should it be an El Camino project or a Porsche Project. The advantage of 25+ year old high mileage cars, there is always something to do.

I say split the weekend into 2 2 day projects, share yourself with both cars

I have a feeling that a silver car is going to be ripped to bits in the coming days. :D

My uncle with a prize he recovered at work. He is a firefighter at what was Clinton-Sherman NAS during WWII. Then it was Clinton-Sherman AFB through the '70s. Now they keep a fire dept there so the AF can use the LONG runway for practice.


This 250lb concrete filled Dummy bomb was found in an old rubbage heap.


Xpost from the random pics. Thought you guys would find it cool.

That's a big bullet!

Just imagine that falling from the sky!

Sent you an email RKD. Not sure if any of those pics will work but they are the biggest decent pictures I have.

Use them if you like... Don't feel obligated to use any of them though. My feelings won't be hurt. :D

Great pics thanks, now I only need 12 more

I can send you 12 more... But I don't think many people would buy a calendar with 13pics of my car....

Ugh, didn't sleep at all, woke up late, left for work even later, traffic jams... great start of my week...

Morning guys.

Morning Guys. (waiting for coffee)
