A couple more equipment acquisitions today. Harbor Freight specials - $50 off on the engine stand, and $20 off on the parts washer.

This parts washer is a steal at $119! I'm really happy, I have always wanted one in my garage or shop.

Once you have one, you will never want to be without. Being able to clean those dark, greasy shapes, that are ostensibly car parts, is an absolute blessing.

I had to drop the wife off at the airport in Reno this morning. So I used the opportunity to stop by Herbert Performance and order my replacement nugget and 6 speed Pushmaster deluxe. In 15 months, it increased in price by $1470. I decided it was best to pull the trigger now than risk tariff increases in the near future. So by early next week some serious horsepower will be on the floor of the Busted Knuckle Garage - aka Shop 2.0.

GM Performance LS376/525 (the nugget), coupled to a 6L80E six speed auto trans (the Pushmaster Deluxe). I think I may be done spending money for the time being.
