In '77 I had all of the machine work done and put the engine together myself.  This time I had the engine professionally rebuilt to my specs and then dynoed for proper operation, etc.

Looking forward to reliving my youth a little bit!  :)

Yes.  Facilities and equipment have gotten better for sure!

Awesome!
Maybe it's just me, but with those glasses & 'stache you have a little bit of an old school "Weird Al" vibe going on in the first picture.  Just needed more hair.
