Last night, Neil drug me off the couch and we went out to the shop and set the joists into place. I had 7 of them and need 7 more now. Looks good and getting me pumped. I need to get the second story floor done so I can drywall the ceiling, which will allow me to finally turn on the furnace.

The only thing I could suggest is to contact Chrysler Historical, and explain the situation to them. I am not in a position to do something like you described unfortunately. I'm merely in the bowels of the ship pulling an oar.

Not enough grease. Put gobs of grease in the rotor hub between the 2 races. And pack bearings with lots of grease.

And yes, I know we got 2 boards crooked because I screwed up a measurment. It was totally my fault and would take way too much to correct so, it's staying like that. Drywall will cover it up.

We got the last section of the outer wall done and into place. We used a laser to make sure it was lined up straight with the existing walls. I drilled through the base and into the concrete with my hammer drill. We used tapcons to secure it into place. Now we can set trusses into place.

Seems like a little too harsh of a penalty for the crime. Manslaughter carries a lesser sentence. Just my opinion, but I wasn't ripped off by this guy either.

I paid for the pistons today. As soon as I get them, I'm taking it all over to get balanced

Paying for the pistons this evening. Going to be a 406 with 10 to 1 comp, flat top with valve reliefs. .990 pin, (I think).

First of the parts arrived for the stroker. I got the rods and crank today from 440 source. Rods look great. I'll post pics of the crank when I open it up.

I get there Wed and drive in on Thursday, get my credentials and then park so we can walk around. Then I inevitably 'find' Hawk and Barry right around beer thirty dinner time. Lol.

Oh, and yeah, I noticed the switch box and moved it level with the other side.

Today, the three if us tackled the east wall, the one with the garage door and man door. The 10 ft section we did first needed to have 3 or 4 2x4s together to form a column for the perpendicular wall to mount to. I forgot to do that, so off came the header and we did some measuring and figured...

Hey, it's performance and a step back into the right direction. All of our msrp prices are coming down, thanks to Tim K. Our old ceo raised all the prices and essentially priced us out of the market. Now, my 2 lease vehicles for my wife and daughter have both come down in monthly payments. I'm...

Today, Bill and I put our heads together and decided to tackle the wall that has the breaker box. We had to take a bunch of measurements and sketch it out and still had to redo a part, but all in all it turned out pretty good. Neil came over and pulled the conduit out of the box, I unscrewed the...

We didn't put the insulation in because we still need to run wires for outlets and the lights in the office and bathroom.
