yes, welcome the the shop, always like more 5-9's ... and we love pictures ... get some pics up and make a post in the DITY forum, we like the stories too!!
it's a suprise to hear of a 283 in a 57, sure it's not a 265? and where did you find there were 800 built? is that 800 57 1/2 tons or 800 283's? would be good to have a source of that kind of info
