New gun..

Why the 10mm over the .45? Any particular reason?

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

 

[sawnami]

Yep.
I was thinking about making a Kydex holster for it to use for concealed carry.[emoji19]

Made the mistake of ordering a bunch of parts from China just before the ‘Black Friday’ event.

None of them have left China yet.

I imagine that was one of the cheaper autos.

matt’s impossible to please, like a woman. It probably has the wrong spark plugs for him, or the wrong lug nuts, or the wrong everything. Definitely the wrong price.

How can people take financial hits like this? I can't tell you how many times over the years, I've seen things exactly like this. How can a person put over 80k into a pickup to let it got for 57k?

Has a new project to keep him out of trouble. Like me n CS milling. About $6k in solid stuff, not including mix, chain, oil, grinding wheels. When the green slab comes off smooth, flat and the color is going away in 5 minutes never to be seen again. I have something unique, that I do like more sometimes than others.
The sense of, look what I did with this barn find, or whatever shape it was in when started. Money can't buy that personal sense of accomplishment perhaps.

Antique Tractors are the same.

This is how I brought this one home.
Sitting like this for 11 years. Not running.
Now it runs damn good. Painting all the body parts to put back together. Looking to have it on the road by March-April.
There is a huge amount of personal satisfaction bringing something back.

 

[Workshop]

Finished this part last week. About 2 weeks worth of work. Started as a Red Wine color but I always wanted a White one.

 

[KS Plainsman]

I get the satisfaction aspect of restoring items, no matter what it is. I just know that I couldn't let that personal satisfaction cost me 23k at a time. Then again, I guess over 7 years, that's only 3300 per year lost. Maybe their income is high enough, that's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Workshop]

Yes, I'm in it for the satisfaction part of it.
With that being said, I'm also extremely cheap. I don't take anything out to have it done. I do it myself. Also, I'm terrible with a spray gun. Just can't get the hang of it.
These parts were done with Krylon rattle can.

My buddy is restoring his dads model A. Told me a long time ago its always cheaper to by restored vs restoring it. Individual parts can get pricey quick.
