1915 - heads done, etc - sleeves on the way - need motor block for 1915 - guess that is 42mm?

Thanks for the calls.  Kind of urgent as we need to decide what to do soon.

I'm going by the machine shop tomorrow afternoon to pick up the heads. I was also told to pick up a "case", is this the same thing as a "block"? If so should I hold off? This shows you how much I know about motors...

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I know they're have been a couple of hick ups getting this project off the ground, but I wanted to take the time to thank everyone again. Everyone involved with this build from information to donations has been extremely helpful and resourceful. I can't wait to see my brothers face when he gets to enjoy everyones hard work that is going into this project. So, once again thank you and God Speed!!!!

Still trying on the case, sent a couple bucks in the meantime to help. Money donations help builds like this more than most of you think. There is always hundreds in little parts and pieces in building a car. Even if you only donate a little you just bought a switch or some tabs or hardware, or .............. Lets all help out this great cause for a worthy Hero!
 
Make sure you record giving him the car. Always good to look back on that memory. I still watch the video of giving Travis his car all the time and it still makes the hair on my neck stand up. In fact, I watched it when I saw this thread started. Thanks to all the people helping and thank you to all of our brave soldiers!

Thanks Punkur.  Folks here at DTS have really dug deep.  Can you post that video of Travis?  Don't think I ever saw it.  If it is you tube, or such would you mind if i use it to motivate others on this car?
