If the weather holds, I hope to have the interior done before long. Engine/transmission installation will be later.

Better get some duct tape, etc, over those exhaust ports to keep he humidity out.

Looks good!

But...

You're missing two cylinders!

Quaint device for inducing fuel into V potted engines. Called a "double-pumper" carburetor. Nearly extinct, methinks.

You'll want to get your hotel room reserved NOW.

Info and event registration is now available at:

https://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?10,19860

Don't need no hotel - we have a cabin! Townsend is where we plan to retire, and have a small cabin there.

You got it, Bob!

We'll have to work on a visit - there, here, or somewhere in between.

Thanks, Doug. Once the aluminum pulleys and the headers are on, it should be pretty sharp. Hard to see from the picture, but the valve covers are done in wrinkle finish. They came out great!
