In addition, images of the parts counter, machine shop, and sales office are shown. Each section includes series photos showing the reconditioning of parts, such as reconditioning crank shafts; meticulously refacing and reconditioning engine valves; boring and honing engine cylinders; powder coating machined and reconditioned parts, and showing the necessary lathe work.
