I work 40 hours a week at Crescent Electric Supply. I sell electrical products to build Commercial and Residential homes and buildings. I just got a part time job working at Lowes for 30 hours a week. Ray, my home improvement competitor.

Tee Hee. See now why we haven't met up at the lakes!

Ray

Dunno, but the block is toast. I got a block for ya, gonna need tanked and machined, but it's yours.

Can't help with a crank or pistons just now, got Legal entanglements lol.

Ray

Aiight sounds like we're in. Terry I'll reserve the rooms in the morning. Lonnie coming?

Ray

I would think that 5900 would be pretty bitchin!

X2, if you have the HP at that speed to back it up, should be good to go, I would think. If you do, I would go down, not up.

Ray

what type of paint do you guys use to paint the pump?

ummm.........Pink?...........

Ray

I'll take you up on that, we'll have to meet up one of these days (And we will sometime in June I'm sure) Gonna do a lot of road trips with these things this summer. Now that The Vegas Contingent have totally tuned the Blue one up, may take it out more that I planned. Great work guys! Sorry I kinda tossed all that in yout lap. (Unintentionally, but it is what it is).

Ray

What size was the Hallet those seats came from? I might have a use for them.

Pretty much the thruth! lol. Loaned my boat to OC2, I think it's gonna cost me $500 for parts to get it back, lol. Those poor guys had nothing but trouble with a boat I thought was running fine, lol! (You guys will hear the story eventually)

'tis all good though, they found a bunch of what Jeremy calls "gremlins" that woulda haunted me instead anyway. Thanks to Jeremy, Nordie, and Terry for doing it all! You guys are TITS!

As far as an engine rebuild, can be done much cheaper if rods, pistons, cam, crank, etc can be saved and reused. You don't need to go forged pistons (Though Crewcheif, Brad and I all feel that we should, but we're hot rodders.)

You can buy rebuild kits all day long for under $400, and I say do that, have the engine hot tanked since you have it apart, have the heads checked, hone and deck the block, polish the crank, put it back together and go. You can hot rod it later. And can get it done for about a grand total since it's a BBC. It's nearly June dude, let's just get it in the water!

Ray

You guys pee in the lake?

Ray

Nice looking machine. What is it? how much?, and.....how much beer was involed? lol (the pic downing a beer by SOMEONE is impressive and disconcerting at the same time!)

Ray

Sorry Ray...I dont know if Bovines amd Bowties can co-exist! 

Lol, I'm willing to try, Damn dude, Nothing short of awesome workmanship and attention to detail.

This is EXACTLY why I'm talking with Terry about a huffer for the next deal I build!

I still think it'd be better in the Moo, lol (Bovines....Bowties.....might just work out!)

Ray

I'm in! Later than the rest of you, but apparently my kids felt I needed company so set up a party again!

Just to let everyone know how I feel about this. If it weren't for the men and women we celebrate this three day weekend for, we wouldn't be.

I am, as we all should be, forever indebted.

Ray

Nothing short of focking wild! Now.................... let's put it in a boat painted like a cow............
