Thank you Tom. Appreciate the up-dates and staying in the loop. Still very much looking forward to being on the dyno with the production piece and then out on the street this coming year.

Really appreciate your efforts keeping a finger on the pulse of this project. It takes a "hands on" approach to take this to the finish line.

My engine is very close now even though I have put the brakes on it a little while waiting for the intake. Ordered the dipstick today so you know I am close! I would say within a week of getting the bathtub in my hands, it will be on the dyno. Can't wait. !

John and I are both on it.Was supposed to have patterns around the 17th of this month.We both send emails to both the pattern maker and the casting company which is who the contract is with.Tom

Perfect! Just keep that gentle pressure on so they know we are not going away.

OK,had the call today.He is running a little behind because of the complexity of the intake and wants to get it right the first time.We confirmed some things he had questions in as he is designing the patterns.The first patterns will be of the early style.Having another call next week to get progress of them.One big issue for him has been the water donut and forward facing thermostat housing flange.We think it is still 4 weeks or so to have the pattern at the foundry and 2-3 weeks to put a machinable casting in Johns hands.IT is going to happen!There has been a lot of baby steps on the way but what I have seen today I think is a major step to get this deal done.Tom

Thanks Tom for staying personally involved with this project! Again, I strongly feel local control is key to getting this thing done. That personal connection makes things happen. Really appreciate your efforts. Kind of sounds like late style manifolds late spring based on what I am hearing?

The late will come very soon after the early.As I remember the conversation it was only one pattern change.We will have another zoom call next week.The holiday is not helping.We found in the call that the patter showed that one of the bolts holding the thermo housing would have gone into water.That has been addressed.Amazing to watch them overlay the cad for the pattern to the actually machine cad.We are very confident the produced product will be great.Tom
