Thanks dudes! Speaking of the engine, I just went down to the machine shop yesterday to give them my timing cover, cam retainer, oil eccentric, etc for them to put on so they could degree the cam, and make sure the harmonic balancer will line up with the metal pointer. Anyway I snapped a few cell phone pics of the progress. It looks nice and shiny! Apparently it's been bored .030 over. He says the heads are not done yet, so it will be a few more days until it's all done. Exciting stuff!

Also, I wanted to get some better pics of the painted engine compartment, so here ya go. It's getting dusty already.. 

And finally, just a pic to show what the car looks like in its current state.

Most recently, I've been finishing up the front end, torquing nuts to spec and installing cotter pins.

Speaking of the front end, I finally have a video to share. This was shot several months ago when I was doing the front suspension / steering / brakes. Also posted this in the how-to video thread, but it needs to be here too. Watch on YouTube
