It sounds like you have a busy day planned! Looking forward to the update.

Having welding sparks raining down on you is key to the experience!

That is clean! You're really going all out now that you have it on a rotisserie. It has been a lot of fun following along with your progress.

I just tossed a thermostat in mine too, the car sat for a while so it was not looking fantastic. Really loving this project!
