Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

OK, it's getting there. Got the new GT Racing fiberglass front bumper installed. I won't be cutting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) an opening in it just yet. I'm going to build some ducting from the fog lamp grill openings to the radiator to see how that works. I'm sure it will get me through the winter/spring months up here and will take a wait and see on how it does during the summer months before cutting anything. I've still got two more hood pins to install yet, which is why the hood looks like it doesn't come down all the way in the photo below. It won't without the hood pins and clips.
Next Tuesday morning (October 18th) I have an appointment with the muffler shop that does all the local hot rods to get an exhaust system installed.
