A big "Thank You" to Roger Spears. About a year ago he sent me some dimensions for locating the engine mounts. I used those measurements and the firewall clears the engine perfectly with room for the HEI distributor. Without his help I would have had to wait until I got the body to mount the engine and trans and the exhaust system. This puts me several days ahead of where I would have been. Thanks Roger.
The car sits with a pretty cool stance and the 31 inch tall rear tires fit the wheel wells nicely. I can now bob the rear frame horns And tweak them upward so the spreader bar fits just under the rear lip of the body. I can also now mount the steering column and finish connecting the steering shaft. Progress may be a little slow until after Christmas (family obligations, you know) but now I can make some real progress!
