Just got off the phone with Podunk - seems I have a deckplate winging it's way to Beerhaven from Indiana. I suppose it will be here by the end of the week.
Terry, a HUGE thanks for that!
I need to have a sit-down with Fordboy about the liners, and I'll probably need to chat with the folks at T&T about the block machining, but hey, things are moving forward.
Normally, I'd have Mel and the guys at C&S do this, but I understand Tommy down at T&T has a newish C&C machine that we can get all of the machining operations done without having to take it out of the fixture, which will help keep it square.
