Motor looks really good in there, I'm glad to see progress. I'm always happy to help. Just for the record, I showed up late lol. Rick was the work horse.

looks real nice. Almost a shame to have to put valve covers on it.

Making progress. Hoping to have most of the engine compartment plumbed this weekend. I have some fitment issues with a few things that will need to addressed but going to keep pushing forward on other things as there is no shortage of work that needs done.

Thanks Chad, yeah, it's been a LONG time coming. I've done more work on it in the past couple of months than I had over several years. :( Dumb.

I should be able to get going on it again in the next few weeks but health will have to continue to improve for that to happen. I've got people ready to help so I'm optimistic I can get this going sooner rather than later. Just going to be a bit more time than I had planned but that's been the story with this car ever since I tore it down. :rolleyes:

Thanks Brian, appreciate it. I'm hoping that I'm finally getting on the other side of all this.
