Ron - good luck with the engine build. That V8 seems quite complex but it looks like it's in good hands.
Give me a shout if you're headed out to any races, meets or cruises. As long as I'm not working I'll be up for it.
I should look into getting parts from the US more often.
Rbacchiega - That '53 BMW looks fantastic. I also love the 507 roadster from around that era.
I've always loved old Beemers.
I saw these on Granville Island last summer... not quite as vintage but still nice.
