A couple of pics of a stainless trolley to suit D and E size bottles here in Australia.
This is for compressed air to use at the racetrack for quick tyre inflation adjustments for an open wheel racing team.
Also for the same customer a set of folding stainless stands to work on the racecars and an Aluminium rear wheel timing tool for Sprintcars where it is slid over the quick change axle splines with the car in gear and rotated to position to adjust valve clearances.
Regards Andrew from Oz.

Lots of fantastic work here guys!

Just finished up this racing subframe. Hope it's not a buzzkill.

If the battery box looks aged, well, it's because it is. This is it's second go 'round...1st time ending in a crash, fire, and a dousing of extinguisher. Very corrosive stuff.

That exact model was a dear friend's "basket case" project. I was enlisted.

Sadly, he died long before it was a running chassis.

Beautiful job!

Made some brackets to daisy chain some carts together for work. First aluminum welding project which was good practice. Just had to make the same weld 56 times.

Here is one that I did several years ago. The cage is all 4130 and the frame rails are mild steel. The frame was MIG welded and the cage was TIG welded. I don't think the owner ever finished this car.

Made a 2" square dice for my wife from scrap 1/4" aluminum diamond plate. She collects all kinds of dice and was very surprised.

The internal cooler could not be repaired on our Syncro 350LX so they purchase a Cool mate 4. I modified the running gear and made a new cart to house the cooler.

What went wrong in the cooler? I've had mine apart several times for pump rebuilds....trying to wrap my head around what could've gone bad requiring a new unit. This was the tigrunner, correct?
