Got back out to the garage tonight. Made the two plates for the motor side of the motor mount. 3/16 plate - cut shaped and drilled. It's fun to take a piece of steel plate and create something out of it... Trying to complete little pieces so when I get the transmission I'm ready to mock it up...

Nice plate 
Yeah, on the Sunray axles, the regular 9" axle is known for weak axle tubes and most folks just run them with a truss. The Sunray 9" has super thick axle tubes that don't require a truss.
Bruce, something else on Kate just came up for sale today. You may need to call tomorrow, catch me while I am weak

Great plan!
How about putting the tie rod behind the axle, using hydro assist and adding some of those *BLING 4340* splined inner axles and Moly stubs too?
Its only money

Actually, that post was in regards to something else

Not sure that's a place I'd want to be at halloween. Vegas is amateur hour compared to New Orleans when it comes to F'n weird people...
Rascal said:Well - no transmission
So I'm spending the weekend cleaning up some wiring, painting the firewall, and painting the engine...
Tomorrow I will drain and remove the fuel tank and remove the diamond plate from the rear quarters...
Man, get busy! We have a 40th Birthday Party for my wife in mid August to work around in the shop - american bandstand party room! ;p
