Thanks Dave...for the compliment. It's good to hear from ya bud.....
Here's an update....the Engine has been shot in 3or4 shades of Alclad. I was talking with Todd and found out that they didn't have the breathers on the Left Valve cover. Instead..they ran the tube setup that ran from the front of each valve cover with only one breather in the center. Of course....I had the first set of valve covers finished and ready to apply....LOL..no biggie...didn't have them on yet. I also got ALL the body panels and wing end plates painted the Metallic silver that they ran. Here's a few pics....The valve covers are in mockup along with the Tank.....

Well...the Holidays are over and work on the Sprintcar has started again(finally...lol). The plumbing for the engine is finished with the exception of the upper and lower water hoses. Those will be installed after the engine is in the chassis. Here are a few pics to show progress...thanks for looking in folks...

Thanks for the kind words Brizio.
Here's an update to show that I have been working on this thing...LOL The seat is in. The Wheels and tires are finished along with ALL the wiring for the engine. The engine is mounted to the firewall and will go into the chassis today. Hope to get the Racing Harness completed and in today also....(well...tomorrow maybe...). The top wing end plate braces need to be fabbed and installed...hopefully that will be in a few days. This build is really headed down the home stretch now.

Hey Bruce....it's about 7/8 finished. I did the DECAL sheet yesterday and finished up with the TOP wing braces also. I'm going to make the Racing harness and the Helmet nets and apply the decals this weekend and this puppy is going together.
