Hello Bob! Yes sir. Once the engine bay is painted I'm going to focus on the engine. I need to paint the block and then start final assembly. I need to install the oil pump, pilot bearing and then put the parts on "WITH" the gaskets installed this time. Then I'll get the engine and transmission installed for the final time and then run the wiring and then finalize everything and see if I can get her to fire up LOL.
So, still a long ways to go brother.
I didn't mean for it to sound like you're a couple weeks away from firing it up. I just imagine there's a sense of relief when you know you're bolting something on and it's staying in place for good.
