How are you planning to secure/mount the radiator? I have the same one and it’s hitting my hood when I use the stock radiator surround.

Go back to page 4 here and you can see i had it mounted same Radiator . I just put that one into the Blue 40 because it needed a new rad .

Here is when I was test fitting to see if it would work .
By far the most helpful response I've had in a while! Thank you!!
I forgot I spaced my radiator toward the front and that's what is causing my issue. Thanks for the visual help!!

Well after floating around lost for a month in the USPS the Radiator support finally showed up

Then I decided to try something 
I had a extra set of fenders so I decided to cut them and see if I like it fender less. I will probably make some sort of tube fenders at some point 
Or I will just put the stock one back on

Let’s go…
Did the piece that you cut from the right fender have rust? If not, are you interested in cutting a 10” square piece around where the support is spot welded and sending it my way?Then I decided to try something

Pulled the engine last night. Installed the torque converter and then reinstalled the engine. Will finish it up today . Once this thing actually can move under its own power I can really start the fun stuff on this build . We are getting close

Not to much this week. But I did start cleaning some things up . Sand blasted the radiator support and got it looking good again .

Started making a mount for my trans cooler . Used some 1 inch flat stock 1 inch channel.

So I have had to rethink this front. I just do not have the space to run my upper link on the drivers side so that leaves us the pass side Or so sort of janky exhaust that runs over the frame . Let’s try the pass side . I cut the oe trans mount off since that seems to be the perfect spot for my link mount

This gives me plenty of room for the exhaust. Clears everything and should work My axle is a diamond so it has a nice flat top to weld a mount to. I think this just might work

My axle is 3 inches wider per side so that will push the tire out more. But I should be good when I turn. I will check that though first

I found these pics so now I know it’s going to work . On a positive note I fired her up today and put it in gear and we have movement 
. I had to order a throttle cable and a power steering mount as I only had half of each . My goal is to back her out on 4th of July . 
. Once she can move then I will start on the suspension . I have everything for that so it should go somewhat smooth I hope . Pre fitting everything first has helped . Honestly I am shooting to have her on Fordyce next summer. I just want to keep making forward progress
