Well I have a project for Fall and beyond since the second car has returned from the body shop. This will be a very leisurely pace.

Getting the engine for second car done now. Going to be a 1800cc 3 main stroker, G15 crank has been turned. Got info from Dave Premo on parts. Bought standard Toyota 5R pistons at 88mm so will be .040 over and have to decked about 060, have to use the R16 rods and bought some ARP rod bolts. Got a part number from ARP, 155-6022. They're Ford FE bolts.
They are also sold as a set of 16 bolts, 155-6002. I bought one and it was $5.50 per bolt total.

Getting ready to do plating of hardware and such. Prepping is a pain. Blasted over 80 door panel clips.
Want to make sure I don't forget bolts and screws. So I made a drawing to show each location. Just try and find an aerial view of a roadster. I parked in front of my garage and went up on the roof and took the photo. Then inserted it into autocad and traced over.

How many panel clips are there on an early low windshield? That must be enough for 3+ cars? BTW from your 2021 post on your motor specs. What do you think the HP is on that build? Thanks

As near as I can there are 44 clips needed. Motor is still on the stand.
