Thanked: 315Nice ride Tom! I would pay just to ride in a old car like that.
Love classic cars. Hope I can own one someday. As much I would like to tinker with one, I would need to get something I could drive or risk letting it gather dust.
Just cleaning up some razors when time permits. I spend more time dragging some stuff out and putting it away in my apartment than I do actually working on them so that is frustrating. Still looking for a house!
Got a Gillette Fatboy I want to disassemble, but I don't have a good way to clamp it securely enough to punch out the knob and head without damaging the handle.- Joshua

Well, the streaks in the horn didn't survive the sanding too well.
Funny though, they did turn more translucent blond than horn I picked out to be blond......they came out pretty well and worked quite well with that blade. I still need to polish them back up after the honing though.
And I like the nickel silver wedge more than I thought I would since the horn turned out so blond.
And the blade centers perfectly.
Honed it up 1k King, 4k, 8k Norton, 12k Sharpton, Coti finish. I did my usual dry shave a short stroke on my chin and it felt like it didn't cut anything but it left a bare patch. Maybe I'll do an SOTD with it tomorrow before sanitizing and packing it up to send back to out new friend.Last edited by PaulFLUS; 04-14-2022 at 01:00 AM.

Nice to have a saw like that. I had some friends right out of high school that were in the one guy's '68 Mustang hauling ass around a turn in the road and the frame came apart. Got in a horrific wreck. The one guy in the passenger seat cashed it in, the driver had pretty serious injuries. The guy in the back was uninjured and had to run to get help. Those old unibodies were problematic when they got older, that's for sure. Hope you get it all right.

Guessing you are not a spring chicken, Paul.
Those unibody cars were plenty solid as-new for a good, long time, barring extreme rust..
I mean..Most/all are of that design today.
Could it be the fellows wrecked the car and it got destroyed? Mustangs have no frame.
Typically, were not made to be wrecked. Or rusted/rolled for that matter!

You'll kindly forgive me if I misstated. I am aware that they had no "frame" even in 1968. What I meant the say was that the body came apart from the "subframe," but that is based on what the driver and the passenger in the backseat who survived said. In fairness I was not the forensics officer so I cannot definitively say what happened; only what the surviving passengers said. Do take that for what it's worth.

Got my subframe connectors installed.
Did you know that undercoat hides a lot of crappy-looking welds?
Lifetime warranty, of course!
