    Assuming there are no more surprises,............ Many, many things I had paid for had to be replaced (besides the entire engine, oil pan & pickup, , :
    * entire custom fuel hat and return lines did not work
    * wiring under the dash and engine bay was the work of complete incompetence - had to be completely redone at significant cost to me
    * new gas tank mounting screws where hammer through my back set cabin! Holes had to be repaired and the tank mounted properly.
    * custom mounts for fuel rails were not built properly - worthless. I had to buy new rails and standard mounts (custom was never needed).
    * and I am too pissed off to name the rest

    Marty and Jeff continue efforts to provide me a professionally re-modded Marauder. The work done by MO's Speed Shop is the only joy I have had from my car in years.

    Too bad you ever got involved with KC. I couldn't believe that picture you showed me of the twisted AN oil cooler fitting . . . glad to hear you're on the right track.

    Thank you, all.

    One a positive note, throughout this last year, Marty shared pictures of his Chevy C10 with a Ford Coyote engine (abomination, hehehehe), his little red Corvette (beautiful interior work) and his dogs to comfort me. The dogs will melt your heart.
