Any idea when you will be ready for paint? That one will tie you up time and money wise, however it will all be worth it in the end.
Steady as she goes, keep up the good work!

roger! thanks for commenting!
...and i've been looking forward to bringing this thread up to date.
at this point it's looking like blocking, fitting, etc. are all on the agenda immediately following start-up. paint is the next big piece of the puzzle.
i would like to have the paint job completed by the end of march to leave myself at least a couple months to get the car road ready before summer rolls around.
the last few days i've been putting the finishing touches on engine wiring and making other preparations to start the engine.
i ran the oil pump priming tool for about 15 minutes at around 500 rpm last night, disabled the ignition coil, and cranked it over for the first time.
the starter motor pinion gear engages nicely with the ring gear and i didn't hear any strange sounds.
on friday i'll prime the fuel line and fire it up...
best wishes to all for a happy holiday season!
