Hey, got your message but totally forgot to reply LoL. Machinist was Curtis Price. Good guy, might be retired now. I PMd you his phone number."And then we broke the car. Again." Mark Donohue, "The Unfair Advantage"

Thanks a ton for the rec! I'm dropping everything off to him tomorrow.
Google is useless in this case. I tried calling "Precision Machining Company" which was the highest rated result for "automotive machine shop near me" only to find that they don't service automobiles.. and then maybe 10 more phone calls.. none of which made me comfortable. I figured I could trust someone you'd trust your motor with. :)
Anyway, build looks nasty, carry onLast edited by hotsaucewizard; 05-08-2019, 08:31 PM.Comment
