Going to be a sweet ride!

**JML55** · 02-18-2016, 12:17 AM

Mucked up the left front fender to see how the wheel look in the opening. Well looks good to me. Next I put a little notch in the frame to clear the coilover springs

Kim57 · 02-18-2016, 09:26 AM

Looks real good in there.

RockinKees · 02-19-2016, 09:56 AM

Glad to see this getting put back together, looks great. I am sure it will look even better than the first time.

Making good progress on the rebuild.

Good looking engine mounts! Were the curved pieces sectioned from a pipe?

Thanks, no I made then from a piece of flat 1/4" plate then bend it on the press turned out pretty good.
