It's off the stand and on the hoist!

The finish line is getting closer.

(special thanks to Andrew for his help tonight)

Still a lot of work to do there, but Dave is determined to get it done. I started to ask if he's still going to go to SITM if he isn't done in time and HE RFUSED TO EVEN ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT! He's even going to pass on the bulk of beer night. Now that's dedication! It was a please just being there.
Plus I got to take him out for a quick Nitrous Ride! = Motivation in a Bottle

There's light at the end of the tunnel and it's NOT a train!

Hopefully some more good news...I should be getting my intake and covers back from powder-coating on Monday...every day counts!

Last night's fun resulted in some broken vacuum connections, so my daily trip to the parts store will be for new fittings. It also resulted in the removal of the one motor mount bolt that had broken off and got stuck in the block. It almost feels weird to say I can drop the engine in tonight if I want.

Dave-
Sorry, but no grubby clothes with me today. But if you're around this weekend, just call and I'll be there.

Jim:

It looks like I'll be around this weekend, so I don't need to drop it in tonight. I'll probably still leave early to go work on it. I'm going insane!
