Thanks Dave!

So pretty much anybody who works on cars drops things now and again... I have a customer's car I'm working on and currently the 383 is getting a re-ring. Very low budget, and done because I discovered the previously running low mileage engine literally converted to a mouse's home. So - while handling the rod/pistons cleaning the grooves out and stuff, I dropped one. It broke off the lower edge of the skirt on the major thrust side. A boner move for sure - and a big problem given it's not mine, and I only have running 383s I didn;t want to tear into (and lose a rod on) just for this. So after going and teraing into a couple possible source engines, I was still screwed. I reached out to Dave - Davescuda here - from whom I've bought stuff and sold stuff too in the past. He ended up having one, and refused the money I offered when it was in my hand. Just gave it to me really taking care of me and allowing me to get out of the bind I put myself in. So I wanted to publicize it for him. He sells a lot here, and has bought a lot through here too. One of the straightest shooters you'll find and a "nice guy" to boot.
Thanks Dave!! I owe you one!
