I know your build evolved and changed after having started it awhile back, which leads me to an engine question. I have been advised to save getting the engine for as long as possible so as not to have the engine sitting idle and immobile (valve springs compressed in the same position, etc.).

Any issues with that (that you can tell) or are you cranking the engine over every so often? Curious how you are managing that.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with the new shop. Stopped by today to drop off the top so they can make sure the doors align. I'm going back again this Saturday to deliver the chassis.

If I originally was going to do a frame off I would have planned this a lot better and held off on the engine. I haven't fired it up since I've had it. I'm just gonna pray to the engine gods and hope it fires up and runs good!
