every time i would call my step dad, the conversation would always start, Hey, I have a question. On this one perticular day, he must have been in a bad mood or something and responded with "you always have a f^%$ing question" so when Fathers day rolled around I sent him a card(which i never do for anyone for any reason) and wrote in it " if i need advise, should i ask my father or the person who acted like my father"
my Mother called to tell me that was very nice of me to do.
Well, same thing with Dan, he never fails to answer the phone even though he knows a tech question is comming his way. It has been a long time since I have spent any money with him and yet he is there to help me or someone I'm trying to help every time I need it.
If i had deep pockets I would have him building me a short block just like Deepockets just built but I just dont have it but maybe someday I will again
Thanks Again Dan

Very cool story. As a stepdad myself, I can see how relationships are like a roller coaster ride.
In the past Dan and I haven't agreed much, but it seems as time goes on we actually agree more and more....nice to have him on the board for sure!!

must be looking for some 9 sec. passes. shouldn't be a problem in a nice light a-body. glad i could help on the nitrous issue. too much power for you to handle once you made the change we talked about, or just take you by surprise?

I have to agree about Dan always willing to help. I'm sure he got tired of me calling him and asking questions when I built my hemi. He goes above and beyond.

I bought my small block stroker kit from him that's in my Dart Sport. He spent some time on the phone with me a couple of times giving me a couple of assembly secrets I won't ever forget. For a guy like me that is a one man show learning as I go a little knowledge from someone that has done it before is like gold to me.

Is it not too late to say good things?  Anyway, I also spent some time on the phone with Dan, and when he offered the stroker crank group buy way back when, I jumped on the opportunity to give him some business. I also tried to send some other business towards him, and after enough nagging I got my buddy to order connecting rods from him, he was very pleased with the parts and the service. I think it's a good policy to try to support the members that help and share knowledge here on the board. Ran

thats the whole thing in a nut shell. there are plenty of good builders on here, support the ones who give their knowledge and time on a regular basis.
