When I was in Atlanta for a day before flying again, I stopped by Lethal to say hello to everyone and got some more part pictures
BC Stage II FI cams
BC .5mm oversized valves
Darton sleeves
They had the block stripped down to start machine work soon. I got the Energy Suspension motor mounts and master bushing kit with a ton of other parts getting ready to install.

Hand polish and it will be coated. Engine will have some coating done we are deciding what type to do. It will cost just over a grand for that to be done.

Talked with the shop there is a lot in store still for the tC and I will share a little at the right time but some things I have to keep for myself!
One thing I want to share I will do when the right time comes with pictures. Transmission rough estimate for the build I figure will be around 7-7.5K for everything being done. We will see shortly and I should have some more pics to show in a few weeks.
