Took Front End Off
Bet ya didn't know you could do this, with the hood remaining in place.
This will be a great for the engine install. No scratches used plastic pry tools one on each side and it slipped off. Captainfab said it could be done, so I jumped in. Going back on I'm going to need at least one person to help me though.

Re: Took Front End Off
Thanks buddy.
I'm going to crawl under it this morning and wipe it down again. Maybe take it off the blocks now. It'll be great when I get an engine and trans to install. Well I have a 200R4 but it needs to be rebuilt. Then it'll be fun. I have an engine from ATK engines picked out but they want cash not good looks so I'll have to wait.

Re: Took Front End Off
Nice! That's kind of how I do it, too.

Re: Took Front End Off
"Thinking" about this unit - http://www.high-performance-engines....p-p/hp291p.htm
My first try. I thought about it previously when I had the grill support off but was afraid the front fenders would sag under weight. So much for thinking.

Re: Took Front End Off
Firewall white or cream? Looks great whatever it is. Can't wait to see it all together.
