      Connor rebuilt the driver's side rear jacking point and Jon at Optimum Coatings in West Allis helped with the rust repair.

              I bit the bullet and had Partee Racing do the bottom end as well.  Shipped the heads back to Partee Racing for them to assemble the motor. High compression pistons, Arrow rods, all new everything.  Almost ready to throw it into the wagon!

                  CF trumpets are on and motor is bolted back up to the car.  Partee Racing made the trumpets.

                        Been a bit since I updated this.  The first Partee Racing motor snapped the crank and he built me a new motor of the same exact spec without hesitation.  Currently working some tuning issues out as we switched tuners.
