school manual ones like this either. I had no idea either. I've every Okum I've ever seen has been a new white CNC machine. Now, these uh I think that one I bought it in uh probably 1980, 79 or 80. I bought that one. And then that this mill that Johnny's working on now is the second mill I bought. And then uh we were doing a lot of drag race stuff, so we were having to machine the blocks. Mhm. So, we bought that spacer. Ah, those two spacers. Huh. So, we could we could take a V8 block and stand it on its end to machine the front or the back of it. Oh, nice. Okay. This is our Magnaflux room. Every every part of an engine that we work on goes through this room. This Magnaflux machine will check cracks on steel parts and this one is for movement or magnesium. The different machines use a different compound to cling to the cracks. Yes. I just like these stairs. Nice good lowprofile stairs. Have to take note. Harry built the stairs. He built all all these rooms. You see, this friend of mine built them all. This is our grinding room for anything dirty that goes on. All the various grinding machines.
