The town I'm in grew...and they didn't upgrade the electrical grid. Power kicks on and off here on a regular basis.

Concrete work is insanely expensive around here...tho I prolly went overkill on it.

Any idea what the total electrical cost is? Mine was 50 bucks per receptacle/switch/light fixture...and God knows what the trenching, wiring from inside the house and breaker box in the shop totaled up too. Slab was 10 grand.

Concrete should be level. I was considering moving the kickboards to the back of the 4x4s, for some toe space. Thanks for the ideas!

Brad the only stuff I have is what I've drawn. 

Jeremy, hope you have a good water supply. Takes a ton of it to cool the concrete. Takes 28 days to fully cure.

Sucking oil into the booster...prol ly isn't a good idea. Lots of vacuum pedals for sale on the other board, or you could have posted looking for one on here. Vendors sell a vacuum block to replace the one over the TB for the vacuum conversion.

Quote from: ULYCYCDo what Earl said.  If its off a hair it doesn't matter like fitting cove base moldings. That's the way we did things before the internet gurus gave everyone headaches.My Dad was a carpenter and when you worked for him there was NO "being off a hair" on the cove base mouldings

Some of the ARP studs don't sit correctly and need extra washers for proper clamping force. Not sure if that applies to your setup.

Jeremy might be correct. I had a helluva time getting the air out of mine. Throw a pan under the rad and let it burp itself.

Check the DP for oil. Maybe the turbo is leaking. When the DP gets warm it'll start burning off.

If you need help wrenching on it, I'm a phone call away.
