    Thanks!

    I'm thinking revolution will be tough now...but a boy can dream. If I don't make it I'm gonna plow through so it's completely done by April.

    Black Frame.

    I never got to go to Frostbike. They always sent someone else since I had just come home from IB.

    This car is turning out soooooo nice.

    Ok so I'm over my dreams of Revolution. It just isn't going to happen. But I'm gonna stay on top of this thing til the bitter end. No lollygagging. Just go.

    I started putting the motor together. I realized that there was no oil slinger on the end of the crank. I'm so glad I yanked this motor apart. All the parts are new and the machine work is good, but the assembly was a little weird. Anyway I decided to yank the one from my other motor which happens to be sitting on a cradle. Dammit. Out comes the hoist..

    There we go. Mucho better.

    It's a shame the timing cover gets covered up.

    I'm glad I spent so much time on the oil pan bolts. They're gonna be so easy to see :rolleyes:

    I set the intake and carbs up there just to see. Damn. I 'm excited to see this thing in the car. I found some special goodies to make it just right :) Jeffrey James should be showin up here in the next few days with a chrome Valley Pan and then at some point Ms. Caddy has to meet Mr Frame and make some sweet love.
