I have a conference call in 30 minutes, then have to drive to a meeting with a prospect....

Guns to be addressed. This is a peaceful time for me.
I need to rearrange the shop a bit and get the short block dismantled and measured up for parts and pieces.

I really want to post up at the bench and get deep into some 1911 sweetness............

Young friend is doing a 442 clone rehab on the car frame off.

Small Block 350....Probably the best production engine ever designed...

Hi Red

Small Block 350....Probably the best production engine ever designed...

It is the Oldsmobile version but much seems to be close to the chevy. I will know more by the end of the day.

Back in another life I had buddy's that ran SS classes with the Olds 350 in the W-31 configuration. They were stupid fast.

I know what I have to get done today just struggling on what to do 1st.
I am leaning towards the 1911's. They miss me. I need them.....

Morning boys and girls. Woke up with an unpleasant headache. Hoping it will subside soon. I took some Excedrine, went back to bed for a bit and worked out this morning to try and lessen the severity. We shall see how successful that endeavor is.
