Re: my build thread

I got all my goodies a few days ago. Now I have everything minus heads. Going to do a machining job for a friend today and try to trade him mine plus the job for a ready to run set.
Then I need to find a free weekend to put it together... Maybe after snowboarding season.


Edit, got the machining job he said I could use that money towards the heads he has, went down to my work to do it today, had to turn and bore a big piece of tube. I was just about done when my boring bar hung up and threw the piece out almost taking my head clean off. It bent it into a oval. Now I have to go pick up new material out of my pocket and start over. The customer said he would pay but thats not right it was my mistake. Just glad to be okay... Scary ordeal.
Hopefully I can find some thinner wall material to start with.
