Put'r'ther.. Now is the time to enjoy life, laughs and friends. I don't get out near as much as I can, but I'm fast tracking the boys in hopes to see those days sooner than later.. We are all very different, yet very much the same between age groups... Machinists/Tool makers/mould makers and...

Hey Dan, For sure, Mits marketing strategy benefited all of us back then. We were all learning, the $$ was flowing, cutter testing was moving in huge strides. I've been hearing good things from the shops I know running Seco these days. I'm not a fan of them myself and never would have guessed...

The F85's. 442's were too expensive at the time.. Much like your Mustang haha.. Had a family of kids to feed at the time so.., I went outside the norm in Olds... Pulled up with a 76 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Pulled the wheezy 350 out, built a 461CI Fabricated 9" rear with 433 gear/ 14x32-15 tire...

You may recall, the old school flat top Hertel square inserts from that era... They would plow through P-20 without a hic-up. Even if some bondo fell out of the wooden model while tracing lol. Digitizing turned the clocks ahead just at the rite time.

I'm sure some guys here know, Stellram had some good stuff out in the mid 90's. They went downhill fast when they switched to the index style inserts on the button cutter shell mills. I knocked the pin out of the holder due to cracking of the inserts, however, the inserts still wouldn't stand up...
