More brakes

Pedal assembly is mounted. Still need to fully weld it though. The holes on the back plate will be dimpled when the tooling shows up
















This cover is removable to allow access to mounting bolts for the pedals



















Steering comes through the square hole. It will snake down past the clutch master on the right side. I'm planning to mount the orbital valve to the frame rail

Bellhousings

The bellhousing showed up. It fits but not as well as I would have liked though. Let than half of the bolts line up.












Nothing lines up in this area. I can mod the housing to work though.



This is the lowest bolt the is usable on the right side




Lowest bolt on the left side




Red arrow denote holes that line up, blue indicate alignment dowels that work and yellow indicates a hole that can be easily modded to work

Boxing

Worked on boxing the front end in. Mostly finished it but ran out of material on the front side.





Still need 1.25" tube to finish up the inserts









Just waiting on the transmission and bellhousing.

Motor mounts..

Shortened the oil fill cap for hood clearance. I think I'm going to remove the EGR, which will let me drop the cap right to the valve cover









Started boxing in the "A" frames













New motor mounts








Need to finish boxing the "A" frames then I'll reinstall the engine and hopefully fit up the transmission.
