Not really much man, sorry. I haven't had any time since I've gotten back. We've been in our deployment reset phase and I've just been hanging out with my son and wife and going to work everyday. I do have some leave coming up over christmas and I am going to get more done on it then. I have some pics around here somewhere of the interior I'll find em and upload em. The car will be at The Classic this year. I have so little left to button up that there is no excuse for it not being there.

I may have missed it somewhere in this gigantic thread, but where did you get the long block from?

I had a buddy of mine build it for me. He drag races VW's, his name is Tom. He builds motors that he sells so he can get better prices on parts for his drag cars. Let me know if you want his number. :wink:

Was just in GT the other day, coming back from Austin. Should have stopped in to say hello!

Looking forward to more pics, Bro!

Every time I find a 58 I buy it and take it to the crusher. :lol:
Nice car man!

Thanks man. I should have some updates for it this week. I just got back from California and I put some time in on it while I was there. I got a bunch of semi "issues" resolved on it so its pretty close to being wrapped up right now.

Oh ok. I just noticed the large amout of orange RTV at the base of the cylinders. I hope thats the only place it was used (in small amounts)!

Looking great! :D :D
