Excellent fabrication work Justin! Interesting read from page one, looks like the project is ramping up to full out race car. The dummy motor sure got rusty! lol

thanks, yea it's changed a bit will be a bit faster than originally planned. that block and heads came from a machine shop and had been hot tanked so were pretty clean when i got them, the block has some lifter valley cracks si it's pretty junk and the heads were nothing special. it has spent a fair amount outside and got pretty rusted up

Will you be building any H body Control arms this month?

i've been compiling a list for a month or so and plan to start building them starting next week, and will keep building until about the end of february then i will stop for a bit again. which is how i plan to do then from now on. build a list, and set a month or so aside and just build parts.
