Lets see some projects, any

I love this thing! It makes recycling cans fast and easy, which comes in handy since my other half drinks at least a 6 pack of Coke a day (trying to get her to switch to Zero or Diet)
Anyway it's made from an air cylinder with a 7" stroke, a momentary air switch, some scrap 4" angle iron and some scrap 2" strap.

Here it is:


Load a can:


Pull the switch to expand the cylinder:


The cans automatically fall through the slot in the angle iron into the recycle container. I can process cans as fast as I can load them!

Man, I need one of those.

Here is my project. a 1964 Volvo p1800 which was the sport model in its day. I am currently replacing the rusty floor pan.

Years ago one of the morning shows showed a guy who had one of those (his was red) anyway he had over 2,000,000 miles on it. He was asked if he'd consider selling it and his reply was "Not for anything less than a dollar for every mile I have on it". Let us see the progress on it and the finished results. Those are cool cars!

i wouldn't want to drink well water from under this place. The site looks like it was contaminated since about the time George Washington was rowing across the Potomac river.

Yes the ground water is undrinkable.Mainly from another nearby business that dumped chemicals containing tetrachloroethylene in the late '80's. Also an underground jetfuel pipeline leaked fuel from a nearby militarybase.There has been an ongoing effort for the last 10 years to clean it up. According to the latest report they have shown no further signs of contamination.(The airbase was the first flight training center started by the Wright brothers)

This is a 1976 MG Midget I restored in 1993. I removed the front rubber bumper and filled in openings on front of the fenders. I made the grill of aluminum. The park/turn lights which used to be in the rubber bumper are now mounted behind the grill. It looks cool when the lights are on. It has the 1500 cc engine. I repaired the interior and dyed it black. It was a faded camel
color. The color is Corvette Torch Red. My brother and I painted it in my shop. I did all the body and mechanical work. Sorry about the photo quality.
I took digital pictures of 3.5 x 5 photos. All I had.
The last pic is another project of mine. It is of my daughter and a friend. I had help with her.
She's a 1975 model.

Nice looking MG. I'd like to get my hands on a 52TD but will never have that kind of $$$$.

I'm sure the daughter takes her good looks after her mother (just joking) she is very pretty. I'd almost swear that's the now govenor of CA standing beside her. Did he say "I'll be back" after the photo?
