A little progress this year.

Engine bay is painted, rear end mounts are done, engine and transmission fit, 5 lug conversion is done. Getting closer to putting it on the ground for the first time in years.
Still need to relocate the rear shock mount to clear the axle. Replace the bushings and get the suspension painted.
Still a lot to do but it's getting closer.
See my photo album for the other pictures.

Thanks for checking it out.

Trans mount

Decided to mount the transmission brace through the floor like a roll bar is mounted.

Wesley, just found your build. Good Work! And a nicely modded front subframe, have you done a trial fit with the engine and headers yet? I'm on the verge of doing a similar diy on a spare surframe from my excess inventory parts bin (or as the wife calls it, the junk pile).

Keep us updated and Good Luck.

Thanks for taking a look.
Yes, the engine and headers have been test fited. Everything cleared after I knotched it on the pasanger side for the header.
Suppose to be nice here in ATL this weekend. Hoping to start putting it back together and installing the rear frame, and whatever else I can get too.

Any updates on this? Also could you update or signature so we know what year and engine is going in the car?
