Love the paint work, pink is not my colour, but that looks great. I am looking forward to seeing this one finished!

Oh thank you D. Very timely post from you.
Chrome should arrive in the shop today. Looks like a shinny weekend, weather permitting.

Had a bent pushrod when we pulled the rocker cover. I pulled the side plate off yesterday and lucky the piece of lifter didn't drop in the sump
Thanks,
