It sucks that our youth aren’t interested in doing what we did. Maybe I’m getting old? I’ll just have to deal with the new generations..

We've had the same troubles with our sprit car engines. We tried a new guy, someone we have racing history with, and he asked us for the work. We dropped of two engines. 16 months later, we picked up one finished, and one that hadn't been touched. He probably has 20 or more un-worked engines sitting in his floor.

He's right.

Seems no one wants to touch a mopar..lol

I'm giving Jeff until the end of this month and then I'll go pick it up unless he can tell me it's on the machine and he's working on it.
I've been talking to a guy in Colorado, and I am calling Indy today..

That is one of the excuses I got from Waco. Still doesn't make sense that they take stuff in to work on and just let it sit, other issue is I know work was taken in and put in front of my stuff.

The guy that did my Magnum heads was Eric at Automotive Machine here in the Burleson area. He is a "young guy" that learned the trade from his dad. Most of his business is LS based, but he has an entire section of shop for quirky stuff - he is big on Volkswagons of all things.

His phone number is 817-335-9331 . It might be worth a shot.
