    Wow - I started your pictures and let them run as a slide show. Kinda like going to an "art gallery" for lovers of all things automotive! You're certainly a gifted and very talented man, Pat. Hope you've got your relationship with God squared away because if I don't get around to having you build me one here I definitely want to have you as my engine builder in heaven!!

    Thanks for sharing. I especially like the GTO - she's a beauty. And all that polishing of engines and internal components almost looks like stainless or pure chrome!

    Yup - you've got the touch my friend!

    Really nice stuff, Pat. Wish you were closer so we could actually have a great machinist in this area.

    Nice pup too.

    I enjoyed perusing some of your pics, Pat. The polished innards on that one engine just made me shake my head - beautiful; no problems with oil retention in that one. And, is(was) that a Caddy frathead in the works? How did it turn out? was it a stock rebuild, or massaged?

    Pat you have all the nice toys! Your engine building insight is amazing. If I every go the big block chevy route, I know who I will be looking to for help!(Not to say you don't do other makes and models). Nothing like years of experience. Nothing!
