Congrats on the new VX coach!!
I've been checking back to see how the project is going and it's good to hear that it's so close to being complete. It's funny how we both lost our engines about the same time, I'm glad I chose to just replace mine with another 3.5L. I wouldn't have been able to let my old VX sit for over a year. Your VX will be one bad boulavard bruiser once it's finished.
Good luck and keep working.
