Looks really wicked!!!  Great pics and videos as well. Nice job with all that editing on the iPhone. That can't be easy.

Cheers guys!

Hey Travis, it's actually really easy to edit the footage on the phone. I used iMovie and it is so simple compared to the more serious software I'm used to using on a computer. It's fast and simple and makes it a lot of fun.

Here's some pics of details of the shakedown work.

All this was lots of fun, a lot of little mini projects.
Putting the whole drivetrain in from the bottom was a dream.

Hi Aaron, do you guys have access to American size number plates over their buddy ? i know that different states here in Australia have different rulings on number plates and sizes, i am pretty lucky that where i live the American size plate is available.

Yep, that's a lakewood bellhousing that I painted black.
The bottom flange hangs quite low, it's the lowest piece of the drivetrain to the ground, so I think I'll trim the bottom as I plan on having the car as low as possible.

Hey Ken, you can get euro size plates over here but not the US size. I just trim them to fit.

Hey Aaron, thanks bud. That sucks buddy, we have the Euro plates also, but the USA plates fit the best, we also have a guy over here that is making custom plates with what ever you want written on them, he has some pretty cool stuff actually. :wave:

Not sure if you looked into it, but you should look into using the exhaust suction method to scavenge the oil fumes from the valve covers. It's an easy job "with the engine out" 45 deg. tube in the exhaust with a one way valve out the exhaust instead of sucking it into the engine.
