Stop in for a cup of coffee

Seems I'm going to hit pause for a bit while I sort things out. Have one more shop to call and walk through possible costs and timelines. The two I've spoken with are both about 2 - 3 months out...just whether they want it in the shop to be in line or you set a deposit to bring it in at a later date. End result is I wouldn't have anything back until maybe September or October
That's why i went the used/runable route.. my machineshop is like 6 months out... i am re-gasketing and upgrading and will replace the motor later when time allows.
