I was amazed at the machining that was done on an old engine block from an early Mercedes straight 8 engine. No one else would do it or could do it. Special fixtures were made along with special tooling to machine it. The quality in the tooling and fixturing was beautiful. The end result is always a function of the level of work done.
For those who have seen the level of work to come out of this shop will understand what I am talking about. There is no reward here for me, other than introducing others to what they can have and expect.
