   For gear cutting (precision anyway) an indexing head might be far better   
   than a rotary table.  In either case advance to every position in the   
   same direction and with light pressure on the handle lock the rotation.

   Yeah, but the 65 mustang in similar functional condition (no holes, and   
   works) might have better resale value.  That being said I had the   
   opportunity to buy a few cars cheap as a young man that people would   
   kill for today.
