It must be agony for your boy, though!

Kc,

Thanks for reading, and following along on our Father / son build, it's been a blast! My son is very anxious, but have tried to remain calm :lol: I need to wire the gauges (which i dont have yet :lol:), wire the lights, buy spark plugs and spark plug wires, install radiator, rad hoses etc. We will keep pluggin away at it.

Thanks again for you kind words, it surely helps keep us motivated.

Heath,

You may have said why already, but any particular reason why you chose the Ron Francis wiring kit?

Shannon,
I used the Ron Francis wiring on the '56 years ago and was impressed with the quality etc. So I used it again this time around.

I bet you have got some $$$ in this one....No? I spent about $400 on my last one.Of course that was single stage and with me doing almost all the labor (my son helped sand a little and tape off). Dang! I am a tight bastage;)
