Thats excellent news for you though!
Yours were being assembled today Mark's engine is still being machined and his heads still need to be ported, etc. Nothing to worry about, Mark is still behind your build. We were just able to get his done in an overall quicker time because you pioneered the way.

We painted this inhouse. We did not send it off. We sectioned off part of the shop to get the painting done properly with no over spray. It worked great for something like an engine bay, but we would not do it to exteriors due to the lack of a full paint booth.

In house. One of our employees is outstanding at painting and prep, in addition to regular mechanical work.

Hey Ryan, I heard a rumor that you picked up the Block and are starting to build the engine, and that the JRZ's were going in...
