Turbo... He taught me all about that eye for detail. I helped him out when he first left Dicky Peidmont (now Dave Miller's shop, but back then, Rick was assembler of Automachine) and opened the place in Berlin. He's never afraid to tell it like it is too. I've got to make some time to visit him. Still on four rod rd, right?


Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Still at the same place. He moved from one bay to another but in the same building. If you decide to stop in, ask him about my Hemi and what he had to do to make it right. There are a lot of people around that can't do an align bore correctly. A lot of room for error and out of round bores. Rick can make it right.


1970 Challenger w/572 Hemi street car and my pride and joy. 1986 T-Type with 272 Stage 2 Buick V6 engine - True 8 second street car. Just updated the engine and put down 928 HP @ 35# boost to the ground on chasis dyno. 1976 Cee Bee Avenger Jet Boat - 460 Ford powered.

Oh, I've noticed. I;ve had to send blocks back a couple times to other "pros". One tried to convince me that the bearing will conform to the shape, so why was i concerned? That comment was from a guy not mentionned above...lol.

Norman at Precision Automotive is good. He and my brother did my W8 and he also does Emilio's (Pinks Duster winner) engine.

Charlie Weston is as good as it gets in the country. He has also done machine work on my stuff.
