Bruce,
Cool stuff man. Smart to stock up on inventory. Inflation will come and it will be better to have inventory (at pre-inflation dollars) than just sitting on dollars.
I'm building inventory for my business too. Although my stuff isn't nearly as sexy looking.
Best,

Bruce,
Not sure if this is in or out of your scope of work or something you might be interested in. My 61 Mercury Meteor 800 has been in a shop for 2 1/2 yrs. for a engine swap

and it is still sitting going nowhere, I paid too much upfront, I know better). Original motor 390 had a cracked block. Need a Ford motor/trans built and installed doesnt have to be original just want a reliable cruiser. Something you and chris want to be involved in ?
Thanks, Jeff

The original plan was a f.i. from a late model Lincoln but they couldnt make it fit cause the oil pan was in the way so the $ I paid they say went to them trying to install a motor that they recomended and wont fit.
When you get a chance toss me some numbers (p.m.) Gotta find a way to help you pay your insurance premiums.
