    Excuse my ignorance, but what are all those long tools with red and blue handles. They look like Paintless dent removal tools.

    Yes these are PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) tools and are great for removing small dents.
    I have a large collection of 70's small Fords of which a lot of them are still in original paint and I like to keep them original.

    All good thanks Simon.
    You have probably seen the problems we have in Alice on the news so I don't get out much these days and with all the rock throwers around I haven't been in a rush to get the Ferrari back on the road but restored a GQ Patrol instead. :)
    Hope all is well over your way.
    Cheers,
    Al

    Here is my tool off Ebay with $3.00 shipping from China. Socket was $12.00. 10 min of lathe work cost me $30. Should have just purchased the Koken tool!

    Al your converted needle nose pliers with the box end clamping tool for the vacuum line is brilliant!

    Next up: 400i center exhaust clamping fixture to locate all flanges and connection features.
    My welder / fabricator gets full credit for this one.
    This will be used once to fabricate the 'sport exhaust' for the 1985 400i. The second image shows the new location of this center / single muffler. Using only one of three mufflers relocated in the mid section. Also using the small diameter pipes that connect to the header collectors.

    A jig to allow me to move my front bumper without help. It also is used to stabilize the bumper while I'm working on it. The bumper looks like it was damaged by a heavy strike underneath that broke off several of the mounting tabs for the underbody shield. The repair some previous owner did used bondo as a structural element. Hardly the right material. The repair will use a flexible epoxy (Gel Magic) and 3/4" chopped stranded fiberglass.

    I love 3D printers. Image Unavailable, Please Login
    I thought about machining up a spacer to mount the degree wheel for dialing in the camshafts but then decided to design one in 3D Builder and print it out. It turned out perfect and a lot easier than turning one up on the lathe.
    If anyone would like the 3D file just PM me your email address and I'll send it through.

    Cheers,
    Al

    That is totally excellent! My kind of work. I love what can be done with some imagination, a good design program, and a 3D printer. What has amazed me about 3D printing is that it's so easy. Make a design, send it to the machine, wait a while and presto. Finished part. No machining required (well, usually).

    You should upload your design to https://www.printables.com/. It's a good repository.
