Update time. I'm getting bored waiting for all of the parts to show up so I figured a little rice is nice so here we go (as always, thumbs):
Engine bay shaving:
Full engine bay shot, wires tucked:
All of the blue ricer interior parts are slowly becoming black:
Block assembled:
S&W 8 pt roll cage getting ready to be put in:
Gotta have something to sit on:
And how she sits now:

machine shop honed the cylinder walls, installed pistons, rods, rings, bearings, thrust washers, and notched the block. When I think of notching a block I think or taking a chunk out of it with a dremel, the machine shop guy actually machined it down so it looks like it is from the factory.

Haha, I found it on the Locost mailling list, forwarded it to the Shed and Fanglers lists, and they started flipping out (in a good way).
I've always been anti-painting since auto paint was expensive and autobody guys *real ------- sketchy and untrustworthy* from years of huffing solvents, but now I might have to change my mind.
