I wait for no one as I even took night classes for painting cars


My machine shop is a two man operation, they turn pretty much everything around within a week, and always have 3-4 engines on stands getting assembled in there. They move quite a few engines from what I can see. I don't know what takes some places months/years to get stuff machined.
