i'm sorry if when you called and talked to us / me. it sounded like we did not want to deal with you. if you called in oct. we where in a move to a new shop (i got a 3 week notice to move and was very stressed on trying to find a new shop) and i could not take on any big jobs due to the move and the time.
we are now moved into the new shop and working on cruisers.
if you still need help with the motor replacement. we should be able to help you. now because swapping an engine does take time. we need to get a few of the really big jobs out (2 v8 swaps, 1 engine replacement and 1 power steering conversion) that we had before we got the word we had to move. we should be able to get to you. mid jan if that works for you.
i'm truly sorry if you felt like we / I was blowing you off. i never mean to sound like that or do that to any one. with out the support of folks like your self we would not be around.
once again i'm sorry
Edwin

thanks edwin, didn't mean for that to sound so snarky, i originally talked to you about a valve job, and your machinist was backed up and you didn't really have a good idea when you could do it. i pulled it myself, but it didn't change my compression in the #2 cylinder, runs great though, no probs other than it's running on 5 1/2 cylinders. i've lost my access to a garage so i can't handle it this time. i'll stop by again and say hi, see what we can work out.
