Small block Shebby 383 short block I just finished up
This project belongs to a young man that started to build this with a customer turned friend whom sadly passed away this spring. Bob was one of the guys whom use to do my tig welding repairs for me. Thankfully I had the privilege and was able to visit with him this past winter before his passing I knew his time was short it was a great visit and alway looked forwards to our visits.
Bob truly loved sharing his passion of all things mechanical car and bikes and set out to help this young man learn to build his first engine. Unable to finish it himself after his passing Bobs son referred him to me and it was dropped off as a job initially.
As I processed what was happening It was only right that I offered to help pick where they left off and show him how to do it instead of charging him for my time. This is what Bob would have wanted, although some cost was incurred he learnt a lot, and I very much enjoyed our time together passing on what I know and helping him complete the short block. What Iv learnt and know was freely given to me it was a privilege to do this and see it through.
