As a note here:
When I left the Kirkham shop at around 10AM Friday morning: The engine & trans were still in and together, just started header welding, tilton stuff was still in the box. David was telling "Sandwich" to take the front end back apart a cut more billet off. All the other staff were working on customers cars to get them on the road.

Get my point?

Yes, it was a hectic day...well, it has been a hectic year with this car. After you left, we took the engine out, modified the hydraulic throw out bearing, welded the pipes, polished the pipes, dialed in the bell housing, and reinstalled everything. The only bummer was I wasn't able to go on the Homecoming run with you guys. But I am pretty focused on this car to get it done. As I am sure you can imagine, it takes a lot of focus to do something like this--and try to keep all your other customers happy at the same time.

Thanks for coming by! I hope you liked the car. Unfortunately, pictures don't do the car justice.

David
