My heat shields were laying in the back of the Raider when I bought it. i had the rusted out holes and did the fender washer thing and it held great.

Glad to hear it worked for you, that's reassuring. Unless there's some divine intervention, that's what'll happen on mine...

Got the call from the machine shop that they're done with what I asked them to do with it. So, I'll be getting it from them this week and starting assembly of the engine assembly. Still several things on the to-do list before it will go back in its hole, though. Haven't gotten the reseal on the trans & t-case done yet, or the locker installed, or the brakes all the way around. I've pretty much been a lazyass...

That's a fairly quick turnaround compared to the shops I use.

I wasn't expecting it for another few weeks. I was surprised when they came buy to get some stuff Friday and they told me it was only another couple of hours till it'd be ready. I could've picked it up that night, but Lisa won't let me put it in the back of the CRV 
She's a sport about some things... I'll post pics when I pick it up

Having my driver pick up the motor and sundry items today. They told me the total was $405. $195 less than what they originally quoted me, which I was fine with, given their reputation. I told him he had told me $600 and he said he knew what he told me, but that's what the bill was... So, I can put that money back in the budget for steel for the front and rear bumpers. Pics to come...

That's a lot better - and a very reasonable price.

Some quickly snapped pics after unloading the stuff from the truck. Sorry they're not real detailed, it's hot and I'm tired...
Everything was polished and stayed at standard sizing except the bores which are .030 over. I have so much new stuff to go into and on this thing that it'll be easier to list the old stuff that'll be reused. I've got to paint some stuff and get some more stuff powder coated. Gonna be a long process as I work painfully slow and don't have much spare time...

Looks good - but wrap that crankshaft in plastic wrap and stand it on end out of harm's way until you're ready to install it.
