AAR resto

[don selleck]

Well talked to guy about Valley performance, He said they are machinist and engine assemblers specializing in Mopars and will answer questions from a non-machinist person. so sent them an email a few minutes ago, gonna see if they interested and have time to look at what I have, not gonna risk it. Clint at cnc already gave me a line of **** having me send a crank back to South Dakota and not even opening the box, even though John I assume his boss or the owner assured me it's fine, kind of lost my trust there. It sucks to treated like a turd by these guys just because I'm not an expert on rotating assemblies. Ok enough whining and my last rant on this moving forward

So CNC isn't going to replace their out of spec crankshaft? Well they just went on the Mopar ****list! Is there any machine shop near you who might be able to fix CNC's fubar crankshaft? Sorry, .030" on one throw may be OK, but it doesn't belong on a Cuda like yours!!

well what I heard is this happens alot not with just scat, its a common practice as other suppliers. bare minimums is what we get today. Goes with todays standards. I guess the quest is to find people who care and smart enough to stay in business to make a living, within these companies that price them out who don't give a ****. CNC is just passing along products that are within tolerance, I'm guessing that would be the phrasing in a legal setting IMO.

Don't really see how it's in specification according to the factory service manual. Sigh! Yes we seem to be stuck lately with inferior craftsmanship on car parts!

Been busy with work etc. and working on the flip car for Mecum Indy. Got it too the paint shop last friday for a well deserved paint job. Will be a real nice '86 Grand National when completed. As stated earlier in this thread I was selected on Gearznation what your working on? for a pic of the week social media platform last fall, well they are having a contest and I am one of 52 selected to be voted on starting today. I'm going up against a 64 Polara convertible, so if you have the time check it out and vote for your favorite. If I win this round I will continue to be pushed up the ranks until the end, and if that works out I will on there tv show and win a few tool prizes etc. thanks for your support. What are you workin' on?® Tournament.

Dropped my vote in as well. That little cab forward Jeep was pretty unique too. First time I've seen such a thing.

 

[don selleck]

thank you, yes that was pretty unique, alway wanted to do a cab over like that for a car hauler combined with a rollback bed.
