FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!

We have ignition!!! Ran like a champ! Plenty of oil pressure, temp was good, sounded AWESOME!!!!

I have a few small issues to go over, but I'm very pleased!

Down to the wire....

Wiring is currently being done. Hopefully after today, I'll be in a position to fire the motor.

I need to install the gauges, wire them, and finish the starting/ignition system. I have a few things to re-check on the engine before hitting the go button, but I'm CLOSE. REALLY CLOSE!

I can almost smell the octane!

Wet Sanding





The paint wasn't up to Ricky's standards. It had a bit of orange peel due to the insane heat we're having here in Ohio. So, we started wet-sanding last night to get it ready to spray on Thursday morning. With any luck, it should be back in my shop on Friday to begin assembly.
