David,
WOW! BDR is on my short list. If it's not too much of an imposition, I'd love to see it before and after the engine install.
I try to make it to BK with my red '57 Bird when I can. Though, my uncle is usually there with his "Inca Gold" (yellow) '57 Bird; except for the next couple of weeks while he's doing an engine transplant.
Post some pics to your gallery if you get a chance
