Hey Bud...

Actually, what I was REALLY wondering, especially if you do port and polish, etc., .... is 'will you be doing OS Valves?' Most machinists want a lil more than it's worth on that end, making it cheaper to just go "engnbldr.com" on the 'STREET RV HEAD' end of things... BUT, some like the occasional 'different type add on' work... So I was just curious... ALL sounds great, man!

I can understand you wanting to replace your bed. That is one reason Bondo gets such a bad name as people try to build panels with it. You would be surprised at how deep I have seen it. Glad you were able to get the bed.

Yea I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was this bad

Woot! lol... Congratz, man! Bet you're ANXIOUUUUUUUUUUS! lol.

I always add 3-4 days to WHATEVER they tell me(machinists) is it's 'done time'! lol. NEVER happens for me, not hardly anyway. They always get walk ins, all day, and that just is great for them!..... Not always for the guy trying to get it back, right? haha.

Sounds like they were just waiting for the rest though, so s'all good! Who's doing this, bud?

1986yota4x4

The 33's look good on there, looks like you got enuff clearance. When you going to swap beds, after the engine is done? The axe was a nice touch, didn't even notice at first, lol.
