I'll attack the brakes and transmission tomorrow. After next week, I'm off for 2 weeks straight. It'll get done by then. I hope..

Thanks for the compliment! To quote an X'er on another board: "When that first picture of the engine came up I think I heard a chorus of angels singing."

I just hope it runs as well as it looks...

You need to rig up a see through engine cover. It'd be a shame to cover that up...

Slowly working on it. Ran out of Racer funds so it's "little of this, little of that". Engine will go in either today or tomorrow. (Sucks, as I'm on vaca and working on the car, but alas...)

Car got really dirty during the install. Not sure if the el cheapo paint will hold up to a wash. Oh well, atleast the stickers will hold it together!

I'm down to the short list.

Wire
peddle box and bleed brakes
Install seats
Windshield
run the rest of the fuel line
Gas

Funny you mentioned that. I placed the engine cover on the car, and... it'll need some trimming...
