We received in the mail our two replacement pulleys from March and we finalized adjustments with our stainless steel brackets. everything lines up now.  whew!  We are happy with the final outcome.

I have been thinking about you guys ALL DAY!!!!!!  Sorry you didn't get to start her up today, but you are not far now!  You must be drooling with anticipation!  I know I am.  The engine bay looks sweet!  Nice work Red and Rev!

This is of course old news by now since we've heard her fire off, and beautiful was the sound of the 383! But Red and Rev, the way you guys have built that beauty would make it very difficult for me to drive her much at all except onto a trailer headed for Carlisle, or maybe around the block on an 80* day with no humidity in the air, let alone a cloud in the sky. She is just plain and simply absolutely most assuredly AWSOME,  :worship:  :drool:  :wave:

Thank you so much WSM!  But you know, there is no way I'm not driving this car.  She is pretty, but if machines could talk, I know she would say..."drive me already...I've been waiting 5 years!!".  And, I don't think I could keep Red out of the drivers seat, even if I wanted to.  We are going to have a ball!
