    I like this machine a lot.
    Back in the middle 1970's while stationed in Germany I had an Ammco brake lathe in my Motor-pool that I used to cut open and widen the wheels for my Dodge pickup so I could install a pair of Mickey Thompson L60-15 tires in it, and to widen the rims for the VW race cars we all ran on the dirt track there at Montieth Barricks
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Very nice, I could have done without the first 20 minutes, but the last 10 were good.
