We are ready for the engine. We've completed everything we could think of at this point. Since the last post:
- Installed the batter and checked all of the electical and stereo functions. After correcting a couple of easy to fix bugs, everything works and the stereo sounds great.
- Polished out all of the transport damage and scuffs with a Griot's orbital buffer and their #3 polish. I would highly recommend it.
- Finished a bunch of small things like rerouting the parking brake cable, installing the wiper blades, replacing some of the fasteners with aircraft-grade ones, etc.

Brent plans to dyno the engine on the 22nd and I should have it right after Thanksgiving. with any luck I'll have the car on the road in January, and I plan on going through the CA SB100 process in early January.
