Machining a Stewart

G39 to make a G38

using my milling machine

 

First attempt with

 a Dremel Cutter wheel

It did not go well. The wheels kept breaking probably

because of the slower speed of the mill.

 

 

I thought that using an end mill would shatter the white metal casting. I was wrong! It worked out really well. The new height is well within .002 tolerance around the new top to the floor.

 

Second attempt with

an end mill

 

 

 

For a limited time I will machine your Stewart G39 cars to the correct height as the G38. I need to have at least 1 car with the original lettering to set the cutting height. There is NO chance you could get this accurate result drawing cut lines and hand cutting with a Dremel. The cars will be grit blasted clean once the milling is done.

 

$10.00 per car with a 4 car minimum + return shipping.

 

Disassemble the cars and send me JUST the metal body.
