Engine back together.  Going to leave the shinny bits off until I get it mated to the tranny and back in the chassis.

Engine wiring/harness done. Took longer because I cut every PCM wire to length so that it would look factory.   ::)
Rear of car (Turn/Stop lights, Tranny fan, Rev lights, Fuel pump, Sending unit) complete.  Starter wiring done.  Alternator wiring done.  Sill a long way to go for wiring.

Front wiring done, except for the horn, somehow I lost it...  Was a cool vintage Indian motorcycle one.    Replacement re-pop on order.

Buttoning up this build.  Steering linkage installed and adjusted (1/8" toe).  Oil dipstick modded and installed.  Final install of the Ragtop.   I also added a wideband air fuel ratio gauge. I decided this was the build that I would force myself to learn MAF and Speed Desity tuning.  I figured with the changes I made to the engine this would be a good learning opportunity.  I will be using open source software tools.  TunerPro_RT / PCMHammer / Universal Patcher / Custom made Excel Sheets for graphs & Histograms.

Gif, with all of the custom work you do, do you ever wish you had a car lift or not?

Yes, IF i had a larger shop.  A lift limits the shop layout.  It would be in my way when using the gantry crane. And I used that a lot.
