Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Nice work on that frame, can't wait to you finish, On the 12 bolt I stayed with the six lug, found some axle's on EBAY from Rons machine, they were beefy motive brand for around 120, picked up my Posi unit from Rons as well, Mine was 4:11, I changed to 3:73 Motive gears

Very nice start. Also, sorry about your Dad.
I too have shop envy...

Very nice repair on that frame rail. Looks like it never happened.

Got the frame back from powder coat. Best $525 I've spent in quite a while
