Started this one cause the other got jacked!! lol!

Well this weekend i got to work on it a little more. I got the fenders mounted and gaped like i want them to be then went to put rad support ina nd nothing would line up to save my ***! I got mad and had to walk away for awhile and calm down cause i just couldn't understand why the rad support was so much higher then it needed to be? Then i remembered all those shims that were between the body and the stub frame on the front mounts!:oops: I didn't put but just one in cause i dint see why there were 3 on each side? Any way i got that taking care of and guess what the rad support fit so much better!!:sSig_noob: And now for the pics!!

Not sure how i got that last one on there but if some one can delet it?
 
It looks great and really coming along. It's so nice to have a garage to do what you're doing. I have to get a house that has one! It's far and in between that I can work on mine like I want to.
 
You'll get there slowly but surely.Just keep moving along at a steady pace and don't let things deter you from concentrating on what it's going to look like in the end.
 
Look What the car gods have found! It's the original tranny with the original hurst oem shifter!!! Father inlaw found it while looking for a board to fix something in his shed. The main case it missing 2 ears but we have them and the 3-4 shift fork is crap and the 3-4 shift rod has been welded back together at some point in time but We now have a starting point for the tranny.
