Default Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

Hobbies and sports have great value, drag racing being a good example.

As the Super 10 project evolves the value is becoming identified by contacts made and lessons learned. Skills developed, ideas tested, plans scrapped, tubing cut in small pieces on the floor. Plans changed and progress made.

This week I ordered pistons, rings, pins, and block. Gary Hettler is beyond helpful and beyond kind. I bought heads from Gene Adams ,[another Gentleman] who's heads were at Gary Hettlers shop and had been on the shelf for a while as Gene made plans about another project.

We worked a deal, I bought the heads from Gene and made a deal with Gary to work over and update. In addition, work an intake for the combination.

Gary has taken me under his wing and is helping with the Super 10 combination like it was his own project. His advice and counsel carry's high value.

I called him asking for his suggestions about pistons and ring pack. After we talked a few min Gary said, "I will make two calls and get the order placed to my specs."

Man O man, drag racing is the real thing! It's value and passion covers the US from coast to coast with a common thread. Good men joined in a good sport. Gives me a smile.
