Thanks! I love walking into my shop and looking at it. My plan is to stretch wrap it before I put the body back on for all the priming, blocking and painting. So, I wont be able to see it for quite a while at that point.

Yes, me too. I was impressed how it ran when it was on the dyno. It went from smooth idle to full power right back to smooth idle super well.

I didn't make that many posts about the build since I farmed it out to the machine shop. It was all unassembled when I bought the car but most of the machine work was already done. The machine shop checked all the previous work, finished up what needed to be done and then assembled and ran.
If you haven't already, go back and watch the short video I posted of the dyno run. You can tell by my voice how shocked I was that it made so much power.
