I’m an Aircraft Engineer, so I would always advise on the side of safety and/or not doing a job twice (if at all possible) 🤔🙏
I was a aerospace machinist. I gotcha :D

Im waiting on some o-rings to final install all the engine cooling/intake stuff so finish sanded the rear rim today. Other projects are taking up my time while i wait on parts. I'll probably do the front tomorrow and figure out a paint station. Already have self etching primer and a shade of gray that is likely lighter than stock. I might do a spare set or rims in black and polish the areas that are machined.

Got there and left. Medical machining and then machine repair payed better. Ever see a 10 axis swiss lathe make a part in 10 seconds? That stuff fascinated me.
