Good evening everyone, my oil pan for the 351 arrived today shortly after I got home, tried it on and it's going to work just fine, so it's going to be Ford powered for sure The bummer is I have to go to my paying job tomorrow so will have to wait another week before setting up the motor mounts. I need to do some careful measuring to make sure I have room between fan and radiator.

I phoned my shift boss and told him I wouldn't go down the one shaft with all that chemical, there was no argument, we'll see what happens when I get there but I'm standing my ground.

I think that's why there is no argument they know I've had enough.

Huge cabinet job that I have been working on for well over a year now is going to allow me to finally finish my truck - when I finally get some free time. At least money is no longer an issue. I am charging them over 60 per hour - almost as much as lawyers got about 50 years ago! Anyway, it is decent wages. I just got the order for about 60 more mahogany and cherry raised panel cabinet doors and 30 more dovetail drawers. I have already built and installed cabinets with over 600 drawers and doors in this 15,000 sq ft house. Here are a few pics of the house and some of the cabinets. I can't wait until it is done enough to allow me actual time to get back to work on my trucks!
