Hey Guys. I still have it and it is still in progress as Jay mentioned. Been a REALLY slow last couple years so I haven't been too motivated to post any updates. I've had two kids come along which was a game changer as I'm sure many of you can attest to. I have committed to keeping things in perspective as much as possible. They are big enough now that I've been able to carve out a bit more time to work on the car though so that's good. Bad thing now is my son (almost 3) has started asking when we can drive daddy's car. Doh!
I also was struggling with motivation. At every turn there were pretty big issues I'd run into. By big I primarily mean things that I can't easily do and really should be farmed out. Lots of frustration to go around. Spend $1000+ in labor cleaning up a firewall just to later find out it needs to be redone. Spend however much getting a trans tunnel redone just to have to have more work done (driveshaft raised to deal with drive angle).
While I haven't had much time to do fab work, I've worked in time here and there on the engine build. Last year I sent my heads off to be gone through and setup for the build. Told couple weeks or so. Well I sent the shop received them in July and I got them back in almost March (IIRC) of this year. Not a huge issue given my timeline but frustrating because I went with alum shaft rocker setup instead of stainless steel strictly because I didn't want the shop to be held up waiting the 8 weeks for me to get SS option built.
Anyway. I'll get some pics up here soon.
