When we first started a couple years ago we were doing most of the work at the dining room table, parts and tools everywhere!... I kind of miss those days.

I currently have no work area, either. When I do, it's a piece of plywood on two sawhorses in my garage. You can kinda see some of the mess that it is in the background of a couple pics in my Street Rod Aero thread.

Thanks cramjet,.....I havent seen the the Menzerna before, is there a noticeable difference compared to Novus, Brasso, or DD polishes ? Yes. It is my final axle polish and has its place in wheel bores. There are times when, due to differences in that batch of wheels, some bores just don't smooth out well with the other polishes. Menzerna is the wildcard. It seems to work on those. Then use the Micro Polish after that to get them smooth as glass.

That's sweet Chuy....nice and bright and clean. The curved work area looks like it flows well and is very utilitarian.You have a lot of cool stuff there !
Two questions....
What is the little metal ramp at the very back right of the work table?
What year is the blue Shelby?

the little metal ramp is to test coefficient of friction for different lubes. I have some molded polystyrene strips that I polish per wheel prep and I use polished 3-2-1 blocks. It is only to test boundary lubrication but it is a good test either way.
I was trying to figure out where you saw my car LOL! it's a 1965 that i bought about 3 months before being deployed to the first gulf war. I have had it since then. My daughter, son and I are working on it. Father-son-daughter project.

Do you keep the ramp angle at 27.1*, or just random degrees? I was going to guess the Shelby was a 1966, I wasn't far off. lol.
