Jim, I've got a '75 body up on a cart in my garage you're welcome to use as a guide. I'm missing one piece of engine shelving, as I haven't got around to that body section yet, but I would think it would work for your purposes.
If you're over at Rod's, I'm just down the road (if you remember). |

rob, of course, thanks.
all the crazy avatars and screen names mixes the hell out of me and the region of my brain responsible for membering stuff : ) does your car have engine and trans mounts installed? Attached image(s)

QUOTE(jimkelly @ Jun 21 2017, 10:05 AM)  does your car have engine and trans mounts installed? Ach! I have 3/4 of what you need. I have both trans mounts installed, but one of the engine mounts has yet to be installed as I replaced that upper wheelhouse (but have not yet put the mount back on). I DO have the mount I'm going to use (lying around somewhere), so if you think we can clamp it in place for this purpose we can try that. |

got wooden jig set up for get rear mount points in place.
once i get this tacked up, i will take over to rob's to see how it fits to car. i did have to hog out the front mount holes about a 1/4 inch outward on both, this is because my cross bar was a bit short and i had to weld a decent gap which must have pulled the whole cradle tight inward.

Looks good, Jim. My tub will be excited to be useful for something other than being a place for me to throw my crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
