Right on Phil. It'd always nice to get a new toy box. Are you putting it behind the house? It looks like you had to remove some tree's to put it there.

My toy box at my house is 24'x36' and my body shop is 24'x74' and it is never enough space!

My next one will be a monster size pole barn, when ever we move. I'm hoping to move out towards the country were I can have a barn bigger than my house lol.

I'm actually becoming a bit more interested in the house then the car. I'm really lucky as I have having access to a fully equipped manufacturing shop (Friends)...as well I work at a tire shop so I can easily grab a hoist if I need it.

Actually Phil, maybe if we found a spot we should pit my buddies boat against your mustang.

Yeah the garage is behind the house offset to the left so we have a nice big backyard for Nic and the dog. I am hoping that a 40 x 50 is enough.

Looks good Shawn! 5 hours of machine work and 45 hours to spray some black isn't going to cut it though, or are you allowing drying time in those hours?

Way more than 5 hours of machine work. I can easily believe 50 hours between the Jesel belt drive, Finishing the cylinders, tapping the galleys, Main girdle, o-ring and paint.

Good to see it getting there (house and motor)

Swung by my machine shop yesterday to check status on my motor and teh machine work. Well, all they have to do now is PTV.
Cam came in at 27x/28x @ .050 with .79x/.81x with a 110 LSA. I would divulge teh EXACT specs, but did not write them down, and can't remember exactly what they were, but that is pretty close.
Heads flowed 34x CFM @ .700 and 25x CFM @ .700 Same thing, I can't remember EXACTLY what they flowed as I did not write them down. They did flow the heads up to .800, but it was like the same as @ .700. I think a smidge more. So, heads should work out real nice. Got the T&D's shaft, heads have to be machined for the larger hold down bolt....getting there.
