Larry, it's coming alone, but slowly at times. Right now I'm working out the power steering pump location. I have the engine set back so far and down into the chassis, I am really cramped for space to hang the power steering pump. The only option I have is to mount it backwards and run it off the back side of the surpentine belt system. I'm in the process of frabricating the mount now.

I'm also still looking for the perfect windshield to mount in the car. With the amount of chop that is on it, I want as much vision area as I can get. So, I'm looking for a windshield that is wider by about 2 1/2" than stock. It appears a 99 Dodge Ram windshield is a perfect match at the top arc, but is a bit flat compared to the bottom of the windshield arc. This will work OK to recess the wipers. I will cut in a new L-channel to mount the windshield flush with the body, and dress the edges of the glass after I get it cut. It will be bonded in with some of the newer bonding materials. There will be no rubber gaskets or trim, just a dressed glass edge. Will do the same for the rear, but will have to use Lexan as I can't cut the original Tempered rear glass.

Then, it's off to cutting down the sideglass stainless steel frames. Glass for these will not be such a pain as side glass is all flat.

Chassis is complete except for a test mounting of the sway bar before I tear it all down again.
