yep must be great to be were the money is machine shop business is a tuff deal up here i know 5 guys less then 40 miles away all can build 1000+hp engines. machine s are very pricey love to see that guys over head is . like i said i did look in to buy one of them machines but hard to justify a 80.000. dollar machine when guys do not want to pay 160. for a bore job?thats alot of bore jobs ... i am not crying i have a very nice shop.happy with the machines i have its been a long road to get were i am at .I have some of the best tools and machines to do the job ever built .they may be old but no mother broad to burn out to stop me.. i keep rolling less i get hit in the head . were i can set up 4 machines to run at the same time do 4 jobs at one time were once the engine is in that machine if he has a guy walking in that needs a fast job your hands are tied till that engine is out of that machine sorry for venting
