Welcome from North Carolina.

Welcome from W. TN. Glad to hear you have joined the forum family and can keep everyone (and Mike) informed of your progress. With the quality of work Mike has shared with all of us you definitly have a solid project to continue moving forward on. It will be great to see the project come to completion in your hands. Nothing better than the torch being passed in saving another one to someone who appreciates it as much as the previous owner. Keep us all posted and share with us as you head down this path. We always like to help out if a bump in the road occurs. This is a great forum with knowledgable and respecting members.

Forgive the obvious comment but: That's one hell of an impressive engine hoist.
