I've been meaning to get in touch with you. How bad is the damage? I hope not too bad.
Well, my motor is finished. I might pick it up by Friday, but Scott's funeral is tomorrow morning, so I'm going to give his family lots of space & just let Bill call me.

Thanks Nate. I've committed to helping Bill, the dad, for a few hours a week until he gets caught up. The shop has been closed for two days already & it will be closed tomorrow too, so I'll run their errands & clean up to help them out. I've given them a lot of grief for the last couple of months, but they are a great bunch of guys.
I thought that you were going to polish a lot of your parts. I'm I wrong or did you change your mind? Thanks for the compliments, BTW.
Wow, this is a cool thread, great job so far. There sure are alot blinging parts there, you gotta know I love it. Can't wait to see more.......................and remember, "Just say no to Satin Black"
It's about Eff'n time!!!

I should be, I'll have to check with my living, breathing schedule & see what she says. :biglaugh: I'll PM you about it tomorrow
oil pump shimmed & installed, along with the front plate. I'm calling it a night.
Tomorrow I plan on finishing assembling the motor. If possible, I want to get the manifolds on too, but I have to helicoil the exhuast studs using BigAarons kit (shameless plug
), so I don't know if that will happen or not. We'll see.

LOL, thanks Jake! I forgot a lot of shit, it's been at least 6, maybe 7 months since I took her down. I guess you're in the same boat, eh?
