Default Tod/Snyders block

I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, I saw it displayed, it looks good, nice casting, the only thing I noticed is the deck under the center headbolt is like the diamond block --no reinforcements like the earlier(original production)blocks have, I was told it weighs more than the original one ---and the casting feel thicker than originals(I didn't measure anything so I can't say it is factual)

Yes. The area you mention is the current object of strengthening added to the 6 to 1 heads and will be adopted on the block and every head from here out. My decks are also slated to be thickened just a bit more also.

I didn't want to display that block, for 2 reasons which were obvious, but Don convinced me that people would care more to see what I can do in a month than what bad can happen in a first attempt.

Yes, it was cool to look at. I also agree with Trey's thoughts, ...and it was cool to see him grinning when Bill Underwood & I looked at it. Kinda like a proud Poppa showing off a new baby!! . Nice job Tod!!
