Amazing as to the work on the seats, headliner, pedals and firewall to get more room. How tall are you?

Stunning build Alexander. I've enjoyed your posts about this car over the years. I, also, agree with Frankie regarding the wait time for parts from the US. Curious (or, did I miss something)...where do you put oil in this beauty?

Thanks Leif, the oil goes in through a hole in the covers that is closed off with a breather. I hadn't thought about milling out a passage for an oil filler tube in the edelbrock intake manifold until I saw there's a provision for it. I may do that one day...

yes Franky, that's probably been the most frustrating part of the build. Some orders took more than a month.
While you are listening: you have probably been the top responder on my 1272 post . Thanks a lot!
