Anybody have any idea when the SL-C will make a return to the show? Fran? Stacey's site doesn't list future shows. Eric

Ron Are you still happy with both the TIG and the plasma? Would you still recommend these units? The price is still $1300 and they are offering free shipping until the end of September. I've had my eye on this for a while and am close to pulling the trigger. How have the units been holding up...

All Has the SL-C only been in three episodes so far (as of 4/21/12)? Episode 3: intro Episode 4: seats and pedals Episode 5: building the engine (not an "SL-C episode," really) I don't get Speed anymore, so I'm trying to keep track of the SL-C build via the Internet. Thanks. Eric

Looks like all of the episodes will be up here eventually: StaceyDavidsGearZ - YouTube The only episodes with SL-C are #3, #4, and #5? Please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't get Speed anymore and am trying to play catch-up on the Internet. Thanks. Eric

Thanks for posting the video links, and keep 'em coming please. Ever since I gave up my satellite dish, I don't get Speed--or Gearz--any more. :( Eric

Dean Short answer: if you are flushing your coolant often (once a year is more than enough), galvanic corrosion will not be a problem. Longer answer: basically, two different metals separated by an electrolyte create a battery. Aluminum and steel (or just about any two dissimilar metals)...

Matt Not much progress for me. I have the cam sensor I indicated above and converted it for 351W use. That was actually pretty simple, since I had an old 351W distributor: took the shaft out of the cam sensor, took the shaft out of the distributor, cut the distributor shaft down to match the...

Just FYI in case anybody is interested, Smithy is offering free curbside delivery through the end of this month. That's roughly $400 off the total cost. Eric

Alan That looks like it should be a nice mill for you. Post some pics of it when you get it up and running in your shop, and of your first machining project. Welcome to the wonderful world of machinists. Be sure to pick up a copy of the Machinery's Handbook (from Industrial Press, it's "the...

Is this a gold pinstripe here (see attached photo), or is this how the light is playing on the body lines? Beautiful paint. Amazing, really. Eric

That paint does look awesome. I think I like it the best of any of the SL-Cs I've seen wearing paint. Looks pretty close to one of the two colors I am considering. Eric

Alan I only recently found this forum, and not spent but a brief bit of time browsing, but you may want to check it out. There are several other forums around, too, whose audience ranges from professional, to serious hobbyist, to down-and-dirty tinkerer. If nothing else, just browsing through...

I got my issue yesterday. That's a nice overhead view of the orange SL-C on the cover. Too bad they put the address label over the front of the car! Nice to see a feature on the Superlite series. By the way Fran, 'bout time you got a photo of a hot chick on your website. Now, if you made the...

While David is refering to the milling slide function on a lathe, this is a concept that a lot of people new to lathes sometimes have trouble with when it comes to thinking out a problem...that is, on a lathe the *part* turns, not the tool. On just about everything else--mill, drill press...

Alan...versatility... Eric
