Shop Talk

I got one more carnage pic. This was from a white Chevy Tahoe. We used it for when we got summer help kids. They just all rode around in it. Anyway weeks went by and the back was starting to get brown. We were like “where the hell did they go that was muddy?” So we went out and looked at it. It wasn’t mud it was like brown rust in the paint. So we were like hmm ok…about a week later it came back because it had no brakes…we pulled the wheel that was leaking the brake fluid. And this is what we got lmao.

Onyx ,  if you are asking about cutting counter bores,  no need for a truck..  its a hand operated tool..  I have all the measuring tools already, depth mics, sled gauge, vernier calipers, and so on..   jojo

Hahahah, I can’t believe I got rid of that. I will pry never see it again. It’s funny you say that cause the older guy I worked with said that the one other time he saw that was when he worked at a service station.

Damn right joey! Anything goes guys. Just a place to bullshit and show off some stuff! There is no such thing as getting off topic….because there is none! Nice gift from BMT member by the way.
