    buickdav Kris' other half.

    Thats what I'm thinking Tim. There is some really interesting photos out there of these show pieces. I wish the people that "could" post would. It would help stop some of the badmouthin that happens in situations like this. But honestly I find it a ton more logical to not say anything anymore. As soon as you state anything about it, there are a hundred people that will come in and find a twist to bash the situation. For you guys that have them and choose to not say anything, I commend you whole heartedly. Don't say anything.

    Kevin, considering what I just said above, you got some sack to come on here with these pix. But you did, and I am impressed by that. Now just hide it away in your skunkworks dept. and get to work on our car. That pooch motor you got going together will be impressive enough I have a feeling. Now get to work and try and let me know when your gonna try and break this new block. I'd like to be there to watch it run.

    Geez, the first person to deliver good news and the pictures to prove it instead of hot air has "sack?" :confused:

    Best of luck with it and I hope you will continue sharing as things progress with your build. The more people that post showing their parts-in-hand the less reason anyone would have to say anything negative.

    Thanks John


    We are the ginea pigs.
    From the past 3 days of looking at,measuring,and general ciphering on the block.We have a very good piece here.It is well worth the wait.There are a few very small issues we have found but nothing major.The guys following us will have these issues fixed.
    I was hoping to have this done by late summer but there is going to be alot of custom made stuff needed to complete my combo.The only thing off the shelf will be the front cover and heads the rest for now will be one off.Now Bobbs motor is closer to a standard buick.We will keep you upfront if we have any major issues.


    No celebrating wayyyyyyy to much work to do but the motivation is at a all time high.
