Sub Boxes
I made a lot of them
3 pairs will be for sale.
Put the V8 the rest of the way together
Bolted on the trans for test fit purposes
Test fit #1 didn't go very well. Couldn't get the mounts lined up right. Back of the engine had a hose clamp that hit the firewall causing the engine to be twisted. The trans also hit the threaded bolts in the tunnel from the factory sound deadening. I cut them out.
Made and welded in some mounts for the coolant res.
Cut up the frame rail.
Boxed in the frame rail. Not sure the brake fluid reservoir will fit under the hood.
Got parts for my brake booster pivot idea.
Hammered in the firewall some more, and turned the hose clamp around on the rear coolant bar. It fits!
The radiator now fits. The brake booster fits.
And most importantly the motor mounts bolts fit.
I'm trying to get it started by the end of spring break.
Lots more to come. Now that the engine is in place, I can get the shift linkage lined up, finalize the brake booster, line up the A/C Condensor, figure out coolant hoses!
:D :D :D
