This BS of having to drive 55 miles each way to work the OC shop is a PITA, (and EXPENSIVE with gas going from 2.89 to 3.49 since I arrived in FL) but hey, work is work and you figure it's the "cost of doing business" with the constraints immediately put on me where the new property and shop are concerned.
Things take a little longer on the prep end of things but the plating is prepped, cylinders are ground and everything is ready to drop off on Monday, and hopefully pick up on Thursday. If you have a Special Order motor with me, yours will be the first to get built and shipped, after that it'll be sort, date code and put on the shelves.
Since all cores now go to the OC shop, there's no prep even being done from the Orlando shop, thus the delay in prepping plating...but that's the piles we had to work through LOL
73 were prepped for plating on this run. It's quite the process from start to finish, with the grinding that most cores require on the cylinder to remove pits, etc. There's another blog where I get more indepth on the process if you're looking for the info ;o)

Before Prep, core components in the OC blast shop
Core components moved to the inside of the big shop in OC
Cylinders moved to the attic of the OC shop
