Looking good! Those guide pins for the heads seams pretty high in the photos, be careful so they don´t bottoms in the heads, keep those pictures coming!
 
That air cleaner rocks. Did you do that yourself?
 
Wow, That looks like one mean stroker there! Great work....
 
It's all in the details and you seem to have that under control. Very nice work and I know you are proud of it.
 
The dash deserves it's own thread. Love to see more pictures of it.
 
I got to ask, what is the status of the confederate flag in the land of Oz. Just curious seeing how it is the flag of the south hear in the states or to some a rebel flag. Car looks great, love the motor, your doing an awesome job.

Hey Benno are those 2 1/16" gauges in the oil/water/fuel/volt spots? They sure look like they fit well, but the factory gauges seem so much smaller than that. Did you make the holes bigger or do the Autometers fit right in?

I wanna do what you've done exactly, but seeing that you were able to do it doesn't necessarily inspire confidence in me as you've obviously got some serious fab skills. Chad Reed has won 2 World Supercross titles and umpteen-million races - I can ride a dirt bike too, but it doesn't mean I could do THAT! LOL.
 
Stunning is definitely the word. Beautiful car. May I ask the color code, I love the color!

It means the same Here as well. But it has real background in the Southern US.

the gauges didnt fit exactly i know its not ideal but i sikaflexed them onto the back of the pastic facia on the same angle the original gauges sat then a bracket to hold all 4 gauges together, sikaflex wont ever come off unless i cut it, this was the most effective way i could get them to work

no idea on the code, i think its a custom colour dark blue in the shade then in the sun the green and metallic comes out, the roof and stripes are painted white no vinyl here
