I enjoyed every last bit of this thread, hats off to you sir!
You made me want to be as great a dad as you are, once I acquire some offspring.
The car turned out great and your son will enjoy it very much, no doubt about that.

I had to get rid of the original patina rotors and my lightweight rust proof spacers for something that might actually work

I picked up a surge tank from jegs

Since the motor is higher than the frame I had to mount the surge tank higher than the motor water outlet to ensure the motor always had water

and i welded a drain cock to the top of the radiator so i can bleed out the air and also put a vent on the highest point of the engine to bleed air from it and return it to the surge tank
