Your trans mount may be over built, but it looks way better than that flat bar one. You could always put a access cover above the master to top it up.

Thanks. Yea the flat one might be lighter but it doesn't look as good in my opinion.
It's tight getting to the master cylinder but realistically I shouldn't have to add fluid after it's built. A cast master cylinder would be a lot harder to check the fluid level. With this one being semi transparent and having a low level sensor should make checking it easy.

Been real busy with everything else lately but slowly inching ahead. The straps for the transmission mount are all drilled and cut for now. I might trim a little off below the bottom bolts just for visual appeal but I can do that later. When the weather gets better I'll get it leveled and tacked in place. 43 and rain isn't very good outside working conditions. It's going to get moved into the garage for winter before the snow flies. I would really like to get the back half of the x-brace in first just because there's a lot more room outside. It's not a small garage, but there's not a ton of extra room either.
Once it's backed in the garage I can work on the driver's door and steering column over the winter.

Made a little more progress this weekend. Both of the rear kicker bars for the chassis brace are in. 1 1/2"x1/8" tubing. Nothing special but heavy enough for the job. Right side was wide open, left side was a little more snug but lines up beautifully from the frame, clears the tank by 1/4", goes right past the rear cab Mount where it's welded to and then up to the middle crossmember. It's welded solid enough for now, when I strip it down for paint I'll finish getting all the joints welded up when I have more access.

Not sure why the last picture is upside down. I also forgot a wide angle shot that gives a better idea of what I'm doing. Friend of mine texted me this morning asking if I'm building another stock car lol. Told him no, not quite.

Nice job that will really stiffen things up for sure.
