Thanks guys!

I would say I’m about 90% of the way done
I still have a bunch of detail work to finish
for example a chrome top for the brake fluid and a chrome tranny dip stick. I have a K&N air filter on the way and I want new gauges and so on and so on...
I just have to chill out on the amount of money I'm spending right now

WOW,....Very nice job man!!! I must say that is one hell of an improvement!

I'm actually in the process of doing the exact same thing to mine. Unfortunately I haven't had that much ambition to work on it lately,...but after seeing those pictures I think I'll go out and spend a few more hours on it tomorrow.

My engine bay is still in that "ugly" stage as of right now, but at least the motor looks pretty sitting on the engine stand. (Check it out)

Engine looks great! Cool thing is you can stand in the engine bay to work in there. Much better on the back!
You'll get it done.
