Thanks for the compliments. This build has been way to long of a project. If I took this long to build a customer's car. Well I would be out of business. Most of the time it has taken is been my own fault. To many change of direction. We don't even touch the 10k topic. As that number or the theme of the 10k build has been long surpassed. I like the way the build is coming together. Had I been given a dollar amount prior to the start of what started as a simple project. I may have chosen a different approach. Or just stuck to the original plan. Apparently that's just not the way I'm wired. The new long block is in North Carolina being built. Estimated time to complete is 4 weeks. Hoping to have everything that still needs to be done finished before I have to make a trip south to pick up the motor. Paint will not take much time to finish. As that is the easy part for me. Hoping to have more to show in the next couple of days.
