Nice.

I like the benches. I could eat off of them. Even the floor is spotless!

I don't even use "the five-second rule" on mine.

Stock P&P are going back on for now, I could not afford to do it all at once. But this is a big step in the right direction.

Fast98,
Since Term ordered his with H beam I think the I beam rods might be mine. These guys (HPE) really know their stuff.

These are the rods we used in Term's motor... We had to go to lightweight I beams for balancing reasons.

The other set of I beams with the pistons on them are yours John... And then we have H beams for a bunch of other 408's we're putting together... Looks like a few pics got mixed up...
