Help to race needed.

I'm behind the project schedule to race CCC on May 3rd and I could use a hand. If anyone has a few hours to spare, I could use any help. Here's a partial list of the undone.

Plumb the brakes.
Plumb the front fuel system. Rear is done.
Final assembly of the front suspension.
Final assembly of the longblock.
Paint the firewall and new subframe.
Mount and plumb the oil system.
Hook up the wiring.
Build custom 2" headers.

Here's a pic of what it looks like tonight. (this block is just used for mock-up)

I'd be happy to feed and refresh anyone who helps.

Thanks!

If you weren't so freaking far away I would certainly give a hand. always loved that little Chevy II. What ¼ mile times you looking at this year n/a? You redid your motor, or a completely new one?
