Great pictures. I'm sure you will have a very nice car. Keep us posted. Also, check back here every now and then as there are some very knowledgable people here. You can get a lot of tips about performance, suspension, maintenance, comfort, etc.

Why not get the engine dyno tuned while it is out and the car? It's a good chance to run the engine in case there are any problems and can be tuned to max performance.

Is that a build sheet on the top of the gas tank? If so get it off and preserve it in a safe place.
