I've been making progress but as usually not as much as I would like, although the list is getting shorter. I switched jobs this summer and that threw me off my schedule. I have a hand-full of minor things to do to button up the engine bay - cut fuel supply hard line a bit shorter, ps supply hose, etc. The interior just has a couple of final electrical connections I need to make and I should be good to go. I am hoping to fire the engine next week so we'll see how it goes.

A couple more pics. The wife was mortified that I was taking advatage of the warmer weather and sunshine by working on the car in the driveway - thought the neighbors would think we are hillbillys. So the first pic is in her honor.
Empty engine bay - hopefully it won't look like this for too long.
Shot of the dual oil coolers behind the headlights - need to fab up some mesh screens to protect them.
Final shot of the snakepit of wiring that I am attacking. Really not as bad as it looks since a lot of it is for turn signals, headlghts, power windows, etc., and will be removed.

That appears to be a PING 8 iron with a true temper shaft. Is that correct?

Not a whole lot to report. Been busy with the new job and it has been crazy cold here lately. Redid some of the wiring using bus bars to make it easier to trouble shoot, as well as a bunch of other little odds and ends. It's amazing how many little details need to be addressed as you near the end. I'll try to get some pics in the next week or so.
