I stopped by the machine shop today to make a deposit and things are slowly moving forward. The heads are rebuilt and they are now awaiting parts including pistons, lifters, cam and timing set. The cylinders had some scoring and pitting, so they need to be bored out. We agreed to not use the draft can setup for ventilation, so I need to start shopping for new valve covers along with a replacement oil pan.

We mutually agreed the worst case completion is early March, but should be sooner. The fun of working with a small 2 man mom/pop shop. But this is exactly why I did this over the winter.

Speaking of oil pan, any recommendation for a decent quality dip stick tube set as mine was toast? I ordered a chrome one from Classic and was not impressed.

The cluster was wrapped up and came out great. Next up is the deluxe steering wheel and depending on how it turns out, I may just go the aftermarket route.
