Thanks Reeper. I figure I'm like you guys were on your first build, except I'm alot older than you were when you did your first build and should know to listen when someone gives me advice.

Well, I have everything I need now except the new cylinder head. Still waiting on my machinist as he ordered one 2 weeks ago and it still isn't here yet. ARGH.

Chatted to the machinist yesterday. One is on it's way but will be about a week before it gets here and then they have to probably do a valve job on it.

Been very busy with a lot of other things, but I've found time each night to do more. Looks like I'll have her done either tonight or tomorrow.

Well, I finally finished putting her all back together. She started right up and sounds sweet. I do have to go back in and adjust a few things but altogether she's running quite well.
All that's left to do is the rear shocks and the heater core which the heater core can wait for the moment.
Drives really well with excellent sharp turning ability. Very responsive to the touch. All in all, I'm very pleased with how she handles.
You'll be seeing her on the road as soon as I get my new plates.
