Galen provides a good service for the Mopar community. I don't charge for phone calls. My feelings are this, treat your customers right and you'll do fine in the business, and have plenty of business. After so much travel over the past few years, it does get old. Airports, security, etc. It's more rewarding for me to build engines and do the parts work. I enjoy that more. I've enjoyed being at home for the past two weeks too!
Setting the national record with the new Z28 race car has helped alot to bring in the engine rebuilds. We have seven at the machine shop now including another ZL1, and there's more waiting to ship to us once I have some done and cleared out and back to the customer.
Knowing the little tricks and still keeping the engine factory stock is a challenge for me and very rewarding. The dyno sheets tell me that.
Happy New Year,
Jerry
