    definitely a puppy thing, chewing on hands and literally everything else. Should grow out of it.

    It’s the best case scenario but still horribly annoying.

    I’m looking around and it seems most places want a core engine or are out of stock on 5VZs. I don’t want to give this engine up because I still believe it’s good. So I’ll likely be fixing this one.

    Don't remember who off the top of the head but some guy here is locally looking for a 5VZFE in the NorCal section and having a difficult time as well. If you can rebuild it, do it.

    When he was a puppy he'd nibble but not a chance when he got older. We'd play wrestle and he'd growl and snap but if you stuck your arm or hand in his mouth it was game over and he'd push it out and start kissing you. Such a wonderful weirdo. And to think his breed was meant to tree bears.

    Five days left, hasn't budged up from $10K and its down the street and seller said I can come by whenever. If I could get a premium from someone on my 1st gen I'd be fine, especially if this doesn't hit a ceiling, and I have a gut that it won't because it has things purist freaks don't like.
    I'm pouring a drink.

    That's kind of an area of contention with me right now lol. When the boss first started he built everything by hand, then got busy enough to farm out parts and frame production to other shops. Currently we only ever bend frames in house if our vendors are way behind and we need something shit-hot quick. I keep arguing that in the long run it's cheaper to buy all our own tooling and hire a welder/fabricator to do all that shit in house, but boss man just wants to make sure we have a wider vendor list. In the meantime we hand bend :bananadead::help:



    The GM hates it when i refer to these things as artisanal :laugh:

    Otherwise if it was up to

    Mine nips at your heels if you try to run from her. Guess thats why shes called a blue heeler. Gonna be hard to break her of that habit since its instinct.

    Or, and this is just a thought, just move the company over here.

    Charge triple.

    Get weekends off and we can go wheeling.

    Everyone wins :burp:
