Don nice shots of the frame build. For people like me who have never built a frame from scratch, it is cool to see the step by step process. I like the Jet bandsaw, by the way. I bet that thing comes in handy!
On the engine balancing thing, I'm certainly not the expert here, but 200 bucks for insurance, seems reasonable. I'm not sure what they do to balance it, but this build being as special as it has been for Dan, I think he'll feel better if it's done, and not second guess that he should have gone with it, later down the line, after its back together. You guys continue to amaze me with the stuff you can do, litterally almost making a car from scratch!
