Wow, it must be very gratifying to look through all the pics and see where you have come from, one step at a time. I often use things like car restoration as a metaphor for rebuilding ones life when working with patients, and this is a perfect example to illustrate that. Congrats, the car looks great!

I would just skip the SUs and fire her on the solexes! That way you can sell the SUs as never run since rebuilt. It will run fine with general jetting, then you can fine tune it. Looks great!
