Driver side frame notch completed.  Ample room for air shock now.  Not excited about it but it should be fine.

How thick is the "bridge"
Have room to gusset it somehow?
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Glad to see it it getting used to being flopped. :)

Final assembly has begun.  I needed to get the pile of parts back into the shop to make winter storage room.

Engine got a hole drilled for the dip stick, oil pan installed.  Trans got the torque converter filled and installed and then mated to the engine.  Trans/t-case adapter kit assembled with reluctor ring, RTV, seals, and Loctite.  Then refitted the pair back into the chassis.

A little toaster oven heat made the reluctor ring slide on a bit farther



Finally married for good
