HQ 98" Build (updated 1/13/08)

First offI have to say I would not have felt nearly as comfortable taking on this project without this community as a reference and a resource, my hats off to PhilM, BryanTT, Dalton, and everyone else that have shared their experiences here

. Also many heart felt thanks toDoug & Kevin@ Head Quarters for there time and patience with this first time engine builder. I will try and post pics in the sequence that I took them and I will try and answer any questions that come up.

I come from an engineering/machining and a sales/marketing background and with over thirty years experience I can honestly say I have not had a betterexpereince than doing business with the guys at Head Quarters. They are top notch in my book

This may take more than one post -

Most excellent pics and congrats on your workmanship. The more pics the better IMO.

Good Stuff Steve!

in addition to the work, I must also compliment you on your shop.... Very nice & I like the bread rack idea!

and.... that's a pretty darn cool shirt!

The most important question..... How was it when you fired it up & how does it ride now?

RE: HQ 98" Build

I haven't rode it much since I got the rings seated. The weather here in Cincinnati isn't cooperating - mid 30's and rain [:'(]and the forecast doesn't look to hot (literally) anytime soon. It's killing me....
