Getting closer to the end! Engine is in so I can measure for the dry-sump and some heat shielding, then I'm just pulling it out to finalize all the coolant lines/wiring, then it's back in and ready to fire up. I wasn't 100% sure on what color to pick for the headers, but burnt bronze definitely turned out perfect with the orange:

"So there I am sitting in the waiting area of the hair salon with my niece and Keanu Reeves walks in. I was nervous as ****, but too scared to say anything to him. Then my niece started crying, and I’m trying to quiet her down because I don't want to bother him. Pretty soon he walks over and asks what's wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry. He put down his magazine, picked up my niece, and lifted up his shirt, and breastfed her right there in the salon. Chill guy, really nice about it."

If you head up to the Delray area, let me know. There's a great night life there and it's a bit closer to me.
Yeah so the plan is to have him tune it on his dyno and I'm sure he will film something like that. He was pretty hard to get ahold of (understandably) but my phone rang a few weeks after emailing his YouTube contact info and one of the initial things he said was, "First off, very cool project!" So I think he would put it on his channel. He already sent me the start up tune and just said to get back to him and we'll set something up.
