Just Whittling Away Here

[Steve Chryssos]

Here's something we whittled out of billet aluminum for a friend of ours.

Cool! Is that the upper radiator mount?

That's a really nice piece Steve. Is that for a radiator cowl or somewhere else?

Hey also, is that some kind of new toilet underneath the sheet with the vice-grips flush handle that you are machining out of billet aluminum for yourself ?

[Musclerodz]

Very nice. I wish I had friends like you close to my house. Then again my wallet wouldn't.

That's what it is. It's a 69 Chevelle. He's also getting (sit down before proceeding) a billet heater core cover!!! Imagine that block of aluminum. Also billet SS454 (since there was no such thing in 69) emblems and some more gewgaws. I need to take pix of the shifter stick. It came out real cool.

That's my photo studio. I had more than one tantrum trying to shoot a highly polished fluted 3 foot wide part without any background showing up in the reflection.

Exactly! I have an extremely hard time shooting the Marquez Design billet parts for that very reason!

Behind that chair is a curved sheet rock wall. Behind me are two rows of ordinary Home Depot track lights on slider racks. Then I shoot without a flash and with big exposure time (1/4 or 1/2 sec) on a tripod. But the reflections! I just keep pulling back and tweaking the angle of the part. But sometimes no matter how hard I try, I find myself launching the camera into another dimension.

Serenity Now!!
