Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
Ya, we calculated 9+ but didn't actually cc the heads or pistons, didn't count for head gasket bore size and such, so saying 9:1 is a little conservative. His last build got him closer to 10 and he bought valve springs that allowed him to go up one step in the Voodoo.

Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I have flown to a few places around the earth (for work) since I posted last, but I'm still here and Bella is still here.
I have come to the decision to end my driveway rebuild.........I just couldn't do what I wanted to do, in the time I have available, in the driveway. SO............here's a preview......stay tuned as we see if I can jump through all of the flaming hoops thrown up by the county.......

Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
Yes. Yes, they do.
They are better than no builds at all....but some days they make you wonder (and question your own sanity)! (of course, most folks question my sanity anyway, but that's another story.)

Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
It's up! It isn't fancy but it should keep us dry.

There will be pictures of Bella and Chaos in their new home as soon as I am allowed. I'm really trying hard to not tick off the inspectors so I will wait a little bit longer.

Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
Do roll up doors like those offer any insulating properties? I really like how little shop space they use.

I purchased it through Bargain Barns USA and they have been great to work with through the whole process. If you contact them, tell Brandon that Roger (from GA) sent you. He and I have had countless e-mail conversations as we hammered out details, he answered my stupid questions, we dealt with the sometimes bizarre flaming hoops of our local zoning ordinances, and the inevitable weather (and life) delays. The concrete was done by a local contractor and it came in right at $8k for the finished 6" slab plus a 40' wide driveway extension. (that was far cheaper than any other bid I got) I still have to do my own electrical and stuff to make it all useable as "a shop" and jump through those associated flaming hoops........but I'll get there.

Re: I'm finally starting to work on Bella.
Well that building is affordable, the slab kinda suprised me a little, I just need a new house and a little land to put one on..
