...from the same bygone era

Jeroen, the machine shop area of Stewarts Corner, had a flat roof. The main bay however, was vaulted to clear a car. :cool
 
Here is an old pic....

probably from the same era as....

before it became a display table.

Actually these pictures are actually NOT of the same year. The picture of the shop is from the same year as this picture of me ;)

The picture of the engine of course must be sometime later, between 1986 and 1991. Any guesses as to the year of the shop pic?

and here are a few more pics:

You guys are good.

It was the 79/80 school year - my senior year and when those pictures were taken.

I wonder if anyone ever thought these would be floating around almost 30 years later.

Here are a couple more!

Great question!

It is difficult to say for sure. I can tell you however, that the piece was sitting on the bench in another picture. My guess is the flange that mates the exhaust pieces overhead with the turbos.

Here is the mystery peice he was holding when it was on the bench at one moment after blowing it up.

I've circled where it was on the bench here.

And if it is the flange, here is where it would be in the configuration

Any other guesses?
