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. :D

thanks sometime back 20 years :) i worried about paint in the lifter valleys falling off so i started to polish them .the one thats cut out for the BME rods is a new build for a old customer big chief 632 .yes thats a 36/37 caddy the block needed some help as they crack all over ..that was the best he could fine has 37 la salle rods big block chevy stain less ex valve on intake side and inconel EX cut down for the ex side it is a stock build . that was last year i machined that engine never seen the car out i think he has more work to do on the car
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!
