Looks and sounds good Bill!
Take her for another spin after you reinstall the wings and belly pan. The radiator with get about 20-25% more air with them installed. What temp thermostat are you using?

So i finally finished it up. Putting the belly pan/wings back on.
I put the front of the belly pan on first, let the back hang down, put the wings on, then each rear corner i used a 1 inch spacer and a 2" bolt at the back where the wing normally overlaps the belly now they're reversed but secure, like so... (sorry for the blurry pic here)
And when your done it looks this way.
Also, the front belly bolts are down tight, the back corners have longer bolts with spacers, but the bolts that are about 1/3 of the way from the front, those i only put in about half way. I used lock washers so i dont think they'll back out, but to send them in all the way would have been tough, the belly is tight to the bottom of the radiator. I thought that it might rattle or something but nope.
