Since this truck is done I will keep you guys posted on the 1945 Chevy that I installed the Mustang 2, engine, and trans. Its looking good.

I've never seen a Mustang 2 unit like this before so I called the company and they answered my questions and the install went smooth.

After I tacked the Mustang 2 in I stood back and checked to see if I liked how the wheels were centered in the wheel well. This was really important because the shop uninstalled original suspension and filled all the holes and box the frame so I did not have any reference points as to where to put the cross member.

I welded every nook and cranny I could reach.

I used this old block for mock up

He had the cab blasted and painted and I came by and helped him install the engine and trans

Putting the front sheet metal back on

It should be one sweet truck when he is done.
