I have enjoyed this thread thoroughly! We're witnessing the birth of a genuine car guy in the mold of hot rodders in the United States circa 1950s. The things you've done Alex are the sort of things we used to do here in the U.S. before the aftermarket started making all our goodies for us.
If you ever immigrate to the U.S., I think you'd give the top builders here a run for their money with the right project. This is some serious talent we're seeing here.
