Pics now. Looks nice. I can't really see the windshield crack, could probably 
live with it if it's small and the price was right.

 the bed travel of the center rest, or the tail stock.

 Is it flat belt or V belt.. [1938 would most likely have been flat belt

 10. Replacement parts: Are they available, from where, and for how much.
 Is there a parts manual and a maintenance manual anywhere in the world?

[MBZ] 2007 E 350 - 83k miles - $6,500

Miles pretty low. Engine serial is 272972 30 526605 according to the VIN, which 
should have the improved balance shaft parts. However, ad says that Check 
Engine light is on. With that and broken windshield, price is a couple of grand

Re: [MBZ] Monarch 10EE lathe

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Get it, unless it's totally junk. Our old South Bend 10K lathe is very
useful for lots of things, even though it's mostly worn out. I need to
rebuild it, but I don't want to stop the airplane projects long enough to
do it. I just make do, and it's close enough for the work I've been doing
with it.

Considering getting one. It’s a 1939 vintage, has updated electrics, whatever 
that means.

Re: [MBZ] Building a car port?

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Yes, wind can carry a lot of energy, look at those big spinny things that are 
supposed to be the future of energy generation.

Anyone who has tried to carry sheets of plywood on a windy day also has learned 
this.

Re: [MBZ] Building a car port?

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Anchor it well, especially if it is in an open area.
A number of years ago a friend out at the lake decided to build a shed 
and store boats for summer residents through the winters.
He put up his shed and filled it with boats. One day a bit of a storm 
went through and it lifted his whole shed and tossed it into the bush 
behind where it had stood.

I think it must have been just posts standing on top of concrete pads.
Fortunately, none of the boats were damaged and he was able to salvage 
most of the material and rebuild it.

Re: [MBZ] Building a car port?

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I bought some panels from Lowes to put on this shed, 2ft wide or so by 
10' or maybe 12' I forget.  Whatever you do it needs to be anchored down 
somehow, esp there where you get some decent storms.  This thing I built 
survived some good blows we have had, not much to it anyway so it's not 
like it is some major expense but it has held up OK.  Your posts should 
be 8' ft apart if you want to get a car in them, 7' would be tight but 
probably OK.

That metal you got on the roof looks about like what I have. I have something 
like that in mind except deep and long enough to part several cars under. I 
guess I could build it off of the side of the shop and the back side could be 
anchored to the wall of the shop. As long as it was anchored into the steel 
supports I would think it would be strong enough?

Re: [MBZ] Building a car port?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I wouldn't sink posts.  That whole wood in dirt thing just doesn't work for me.
I'd go with pillar blocks, as used in my woodshed:

http://formicapeak.com/~jimc/Mog/mogdirt/shedframe2.jpg 


(Or, better, sink sonotubes below the frost line and pour concrete to above
the splash zone, and sink saddles into that before it cures.  Then build
above, in whatever rustic style you like.  (See above.)  The side wings on
my family's barn were done this way, and are 70-80 years old now.)

The result can be fairly attractive:

To make it difficult to steal the wheels off your car when you're not looking.
