Re: Project '86
Your work looks great on this one, it's sad some of the stuff people think is safe to run on the street. Did you build or buy the new link's?

Re: Project '86
A little progress for you

Got the engine mocked up and welded the mounts to the cross member. During mock up I saw I needed a little more room for the oil pan so I took care of that as well

Re: Project '86
Dig the tailgate "button" & the little weld stand/table.

It's amazing what can be done on a smaller/sturdy weld table.

Keep us posted on the progress.

Since the front fenders are back on the shop floor it should be easier to sell them to me now .. Been gone for awhile good to see you working on the truck. I bet your son is grinding by now with his pops instead of just sitting in the front seat. The front member looks great. Your work on the Blue chevy is excellent. Cant wait to see whats next, after all you have a roof over your head now.

Re: Project '86
It may have changed... I have the V3, tubular version.

But there is a "locator tab" on the shock mount. That tab goes into the old mounting hole, and you drill new holes for mounting the shock mount.

Hope that helps... I'll take pics if you need. I do have a 77, but should be roughly the same.
