So far so good! A lot of that stuff looks familiar so I'll let you in on a few issues I ran into.

-The CB pump works awesome but make sure there's a good seal between the pump and the block or it'll leak.
-The sump tank in the car is mounted too high (guess how I know) but I see you have a manual valve on it. It will gravity feed into the block and fill it if you ever forget to turn off the valve. I don't think I need to tell you what happens if you forget to turn it back on. I thought about doing the valve setup like you but found it easier to lower the tank vs adding procedures.
-The power pulley is way small, like really, really small. I ran into charging problems and dead batteries because average (read: non race speed) driving wasn't turning enough revs to charge the battery. I swapped to a new pulley (had to turn down the back face of it 1/8 inch) and used a spacer to clear the dry sump pump.

BTW, fenders are looking great! What wheels do you have in mind to fill them?

Wow, that IS a lot of fender to fill!!!

Isn't there a one way valve you can put inline so the oil only flows one way so you don't have to worry about oil bleeding back OR not turning on the valve?

Did you do the windows yourself? What material did you use for them?

The muffler looks a little precarious, is that where it's going to end up?

Lot's of questions, sorry!!!
