| Thanks to all of you for the encouragement! Things are looking up and I feel much more confident than 2 months ago. Still a few hurdles to get over but it seems like the finish line is in sight.

| We have decided to try a new foundry. I had hoped to use the local foundry but confidence has slipped over the past few months. We had the head foundry guy down from the new foundry last week to look things over. They are all at the SEMA show this week so nothing is happening this week. The plan is to deliver the patterns next week. They will make recommendations regarding gating so I can make necessary changes. I had hoped to have cores and castings made at one location but the new foundry is too automated for our core boxes and it will take too much modification to make them compatible with their equipment. So the core boxes will go to a separate core shop. I am confident that we can get into production soon as this foundry casts heads every day and should have encountered any problems that might crop up before and know how to deal with them. With a little luck we can get this show on the road.

To echo many others, thanks John for hanging in there on this. I have a motor at Ted's that is ready to go together once we have a set of heads to cc. Can't wait to see the gains in hp and torque over our old heads!

| Thanks guys for keeping the "fayth" as Jerry would say. I know as time drags on these projects start to sound like a pipe dream unless there are some results. We are scheduled to deliver the patterns on Friday the 13th. I hope there is nothing to that superstition. I will then need to make the necsessary changes to gating and deliver the match plate back to them. They talk as if they can get to this project fairly quickly so we should know something soon. Let's keep our fingers crossed, just in case we need it.
