Ok, here's my rant.................
One of my friends puts together cars on the side. He is fairly slow as he works only when free time allows. I have seen more than one engine come back due to a failure. My thought process has been to have him work on my stuff becuase #1 labor will be cheap and #2 I can help/learn in the process. He just finished another motor for someone else and it took 2-3 months to assemble this in dirty enviroment.
Now, I'm faced with the dilema as I'm nearing the end to my car. All the parts/pieces are here and ordered but nothing is assembled yet. I'm wanting to take my block and misc. parts to a performance shop and I will pay them for putting this together for me just so I know it's done right.
The very last thing I want is for my friend to "forget" something and I have the car a few hours then KABOOM. My 2year project with ALOT of money sunken into it goes down the drain.
What would you do?
I'm not quite sure of all the items I would need to bring to a shop and have them assemble my stuff. So I dont want to seem like a tard when the shop calls me and says hey were missing this part. Bring it down by or whatever.
