After almost loseing ambition on our project due to work getting crazy (which is good), i got a call and picked up the last remaining parts.
Lots of pictures, so please dont hate me!
First off, i want to Thank John S. At Rocket Racing for being extremely helpful with everything. Being more than happy to take me and show me how ever machine in his shop works, and showing me progress on all of my parts. Not only did he put my stuff first when he had a WHOLE shop full of setups that need to go together, but he never doubted my plans or goals!
He never once, pushed me to leave. Hell he had me stay multiple time for an hour plus of time, just to show me the differences in quailty of parts with all kinds of parts companies. Im 100% positive, the parts going into this SBF are :headbang worthy.
Onto the pictures....

Brass Freeze plugs are in, all plugs are in except front and rear oil galley plugs so that we could used compress air to blow them out right before we put it together.
