I worked on it a few weekends ago. Finished up all the wiring under the dash, fixed an issue with the hydraulic pump wiring, ran all the fuel lines, and re-installed the headers with gaskets.
I just need to finish running the water lines and put some oil in it, then take it out and give it a shake down so all is good when I hand the keys over to Tom, which should be within the next few weeks once I find some time.
