I was thinking the same thing....

Finally got off my ass and got a little bit of work done in the last couple days. Gave the engine bay a quick sand and re spray. I tried to paint it red to match, but the body color is so faded compared to the new paint it looked like shit. So purist, fuck off. It will get done correctly when I paint the car in the future.
Then I clear coated my headers with a 2000 degree clear coat. Never tried coating over bare steel before, which is much harder than it looks. For now they look killer IMO, hope the shit dont burn off first time I fire it.
Then I finally picked up the engine and brought it over to my buddies where I'm putting the engine in at.
Mounted my new trans cooler.
Then finally tonight I bolted it together and the girlfriend and I dropped it in. It's now 5am, and I've had just about all I can handle for today. Tomorrow I have to bolt up the shifter linkage, driveshaft, mufflers, and fill it with fluids and try to fire it.

Did the official first fire up today since being back together and things felt good so I decided to take it out tonight. The girlfriend and I drove it around for quite a while and aside from a small issue to address it all went pretty well, and it ran great, and to my surprise brought a lot of compliments at a local cruise in. Made me feel pretty good. Had a blast!
