now you just need to make like a dozen or two to make back the money spent on the machine and for some cash flow in your pocket.

I know, it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I see tools as an investment. Been wanting a mill for a while. Nothing fancy, just something I could use for small projects in my garage. This thing fits the bill perfectly. Only thing I don't really like is the drill chuck. I'd much rather prefer the collet style holder vs. the chuck style as they tend to grip the tool(bits) better. It's an easy swap though, so no biggie.

I'll definitely make a template for the M50 manifold adapter and throttle body adapter, but before I go all out and crank a bunch of them out, I need to get this damn car running. Heck just two kits @ $200ea would pay for the machine, tooling and materials
