Nice work! Everything is so clean, methodical, and meticulously detailed. Glad you didn't let it beat you...

Man, I am really enjoying this build; I am learning a lot as you go along. The point that is made in this build is there are many roads that lead us to a destination, each with its own lessons along the way. It takes creativity and perseverance to take the road less traveled, and in many cases the journey is much more meaningful at its conclusion, this build is great example of this. Really impressive so far! Keep up the good work, I'll be watching patiently.

Thank you very much, that means a lot! My wife was all proud of me when she read it, lol..

I learned it racing cars. I figure they are all just hunks of "iron" with an internal combustion engine between the rails and a few things in between to fill the gaps. You can fill the gaps with whatever you want, as long as you get the power to the ground. Might as well fill them the way you want.

Ordered tires and wheels today. Not the ones I wanted, but they'll get me through till Eagle makes another batch of the 225's in a 5" BS... Which could be never, nobody seems to know...

Ordered a shorter throwout bearing for my clutch dilemma, that should be here today.

Got speedo gears coming.

Entropy radiator showed up last night, and my buddy bucket seats the day before.

It's SO close.... Now I just need to find some time to work on it.
