He told me he has never been busier than he is now!! He even looked haggered. He attributes it to stimulus money and time for people to work on their cars. I'm happy for him!
My machinist is in the same boat - pulled the trigger on a 440 build thinking I was doing him a favor and giving him business during a slow time and he said it'll be a while as he has a crazy amount of jobs lined up -- The short block is done and just waiting for me to go pick it up
