    I get usually get the opposite type of response. People like to argue with me saying that Mavericks never came with a V8 and I had to swap the 302 into it.

    Well, maybe not a job but still get paid for doing something I enjoy.......................these are some of things that are keeping me busy.............just finished another tripower setup for a Yblock Ford for a guy in Florida, working on getting port/polish/relief on a flathead motor I am building for a guy in Denver, finishing the rear suspension on a 32 Ford frame for a Model A Coupe, and finishing a stroker crank and shipping to England.

    Thanks for the kind words but I can't much credit for the steel Flathead crank, just had the machine work done here.................but I made the oak crate from scratch that it ship in. Really like to work with steel and wood, although if you make a mistake with wood it's a little harder to fix.....IMHO
