Distance is not an issue. I had Walt build a 34 V8 for me and then shipped it to Friday Harbor Washington via Fastenal. No Problem.

Hi T-Scott. If I remember right that for a 34 roadster. Do you have a pic of that car and a pic of the engine in the car? if so could you post it on the barn? Walt

Hi Walt,
It's 34 South American 5 window

I have a picture of the engine with your engraved plate and all and a picture of the car but the engine is not in it. I am doing two cars at a time, a 34 fordor and the coupe. The fordor was pretty good to start with but the coupe was missing 3 inches of it's bottom including the floor, sub rails, and all so that has been time consuming. It is coming nicely though so maybe the engine will go in by May. I'll post pictures. Happy birthday,
Scott
