408 Build Thread

I'm not upset with the machine shop, just bitching out loud really. I realize that it was my fault that work had to be stopped, and I in turn lost my spot in line. These were legit reasons though, not just buyer's remorse or getting cold feet. I had a lump that I thought was cancer the first time and then my wife lost her job for 53 weeks. House, food and bills were my first priority.

As far as giving them more money to get them restarted, they have over $5k in parts in their possession that belong to me. I would think that would be pretty good collateral. As far as buying parts from them, they are supplying rings, all of the bearings, and the push rods. I have always paid them CASH and they know that I'm good for the balance. I will offer them some money when I run a few small parts out next week and see what happens?
