Nice progress. It helps to have access to tooling through work. When I redid my wheels a few years ago, I used the media blaster at work, and the paint booth. Makes all the difference.

What else are you doing with the engine rebuild??? What sort of rods, rod bolts, and crank are you running? What sort of head gasket? I know if you go NA-T and keep the bottom end stock(ie stock pistions, which you didn't use) you need a thicker headgasket to lower the compression ratio a bit.

stock rods and rod bolts, everything else is arp studs, I am putting a cometic 1.3 gasket on, but I had .015 decked off block, so I should be right around 10:1 which will be perfect for 20 psi or so on e85
