Good on you for taking a stand for safety and declining a project that would be dangerous. Sounds like the owner of the Fury has no real idea what he's doing, maybe one day he'll realize that you were more interested in the safety of everyone and not just making a few dollars.
Nice collection you have.

Thank you. The situation with the Fury was just baffling for me. I've been friends with this guy for over 25 years. It was never about making any money for me just about working on car stuff with a friend. I never charged the guy a dime. I spent two years teaching/helping him with his engine project and even gave him about $1,200 worth of free parts towards it because they were sitting on my shelf and it would save him a few bucks. He is not a truly dumb person but has little sense about most things. It was a bummer for both of us but it was the right thing to do, it would have been completely irresponsible of me to go through with the job. Cut your losses and live to fight another day. He was OK when I answered his questions or guided him in what to buy but when I told him I wouldn't put a 450hp engine in a car that was beyond any reasonable repair he lost it. He even put my wife in tears. It was like the previous 25 years never happened. Good riddance.
