That's Coooool!
Looks like you're getting close Nate.
Guess I should be careful of what I post, didn't think anyone would try the stuff I do. 
Looking good Nate.

Thanks guys! Yes Dave it is getting a lot closer now. Don’t worry James it all went good and I have milled other things before on the drill press with success.
Good deal, you have to be pretty stoked about now.
Yes I am and I might get today to work on it being my daycare lady is sick and having trouble finding someone to watch the kids so I might be home today.
Lots of progress today being I had to stay home. Too much to list as far as what is accomplished so here is a picture.
Pictures are worth a thousand word. 
I have to get some new heater hose and upper radiator hose going to use one of them universal ones for the upper radiator hose. MRHP is sending me some seals for the accelerator pumps on the carbs. He was noticing some leakage there with his blower motor so recommended doing mine right away too.
Cool x 1000..........
Put a restrictor in your hose to the heater core.
What would be the reason to do that James?
To keep from blower the core up.
This was the trick I did back in the days of street racing, but this was with a high winding small block. May not be a problem with your engine.

I see. I’m not planning on winding this motor up too high being I should have plenty of power low and midrange so maybe it wouldn’t be an issue for me?

Lots more progress. The clutch linkage is all my in and adjusted the brakes are all hooked up again. Left inner fender is back in and it took a little trimming to fit around the Wilson headers I’m using. Got the ignition system all wired in, alternator is wired. Leak tested my fuel tank and all is good so that is installed, regulator mounted, fuel pump mount made and pump mounted, boost gauge all mounted, plumbed, and wired. Throttle linkage is all set. I got the accelerator pump seals from MRHP today and got them all installed so the carbs are mounted for the final time. Cooling system is all plumbed in and ready also. I had forgot to order the fuel pump inlet fitting but that should be here tomorrow. I had the helper checking things over to make sure it was done properly. 
Sounds like you and your helper are closing in.
I’m really hoping I can fire it on the 4th if everything works out properly.
Fingers crossed for you.
