Thanks, @ALB, it's a lot of fun to post the updates - I'm happy you're enjoying them. And I love the questions. I'm sure my wife is happy to have me redirect my enthusiasm a different direction once and a while...
1) I did spec baby-moon's, and decided to keep the 5-bolts under them anyways just in case the mood strikes me to "change it up", as you described.
2) The car will be wearing full brightwork, trim spears, full bumpers, bumper guards and all. Just not fitted yet.
3) Yup, aircooled it is. I opted for the "smaller" 1915cc type-1. Lots and lots of helpful discussion with Carey about that one over the past 25 months (!!). Bottom line is I want air-cooled, and am willing to accept a baseline level of fiddling that comes with that choice, but not looking to spend more lime tinkering than driving. Is definitely the right decision for me.
4) I think I've shared every pic they've sent me, so unfortunately I can't scratch your itch for more suspension goodness. But like @DannyP said, @Lane Anderson's got you covered there - won't try to improve on his already excellent journalistic abilities.
5) Re: Calipers, hubs, I have no idea - but I bet their good ones since Carey picked them out!
6) Other fun things I've enjoyed in the last month: the "stereo" is in, you can see a small hint of it in one of the interior pics; the speaker hidden in the door. It will have a bluetooth-only amp in the frunk so no head-unit will be visible. Tunes to drive along to if you feel like it, nothing to see if you don't. I also had an amazing time going back and forth on final shifter and steering wheel decisions.... but I'm going to keep those to myself until they're installed and ready for the final reveal. Need something to keep y'all coming back for more.
