Thanks for the comments guys, we're getting more and more determined as we make more progress.
Got some more done the past few weekends - glass is in, brakes and clutch are ready to bleed, exhaust and headers are ready to be final welded and painted, and it should be going to the painters' weekend after next, pending the completion of the Volkswagen they were shooting this weekend. Inching forward ever so slowly
Knocked 6 pounds off this beast..not nearly as much as I was hoping for, but every bit counts
