Reassemble
Ok I will be reassembling my Mark V in the next few days. I ordered new belts and have cleaned it all up. What is recommended for lube on the sheaves, shafts, quill, basically anything that moves. Also what is the best wax for the tubes to get the best slide on them? Wish me luck...hope I don't have any parts left over:o .

He did well. I will get some pics of my SS soon because I want to see if ya'll can tell me which setup I have exactly.derekdarling wrote:Like they say, if you don't have pictures... it didn't happen!

Yep he has been asking me to try the lathe for a while. I didn't get a pic of him making the car, but I will post a pic of the him and the car soon. He did a great job on it and did most of the work himself (I did a little band sawing for him)JPG40504 wrote:Using the lathe no less!Or was that someone else?
