Things have settled down as much as they are going to so I got all the parts together and continue on this project. I got the motor back, the heads fixed and the rocker boxes loaded. When I get the frame back from the powdercoaters, I'll assemble the engine in the frame.

What a good pressure wash could have done with some super clean in the purple bottle i run across different stuff all the time and that is the first step just my 2 cents

I haven't given up on this build. It's been more than a few months. I'm going to let this brutal heat break and get back to it. Al
