we pulled the engine out and stripped it ourselves and it cost about $1000 to have the beaters weld, smooth and spray it

Oustanding work guys, very well done. It shows that a lot of hard work and effort went into it, and it's nice to see people doing things the right way (meaning - top parts, rebuilds, etc.) from the start.. Well done, its looks great... Get some more up once it all done mate.. -Todd
