    Hey John,

    I've got STACKS of 35 mm pix & have yet to convert them to digital images. As soon as that is done I'll post them.

    The only thing I lack now is aligning M/Trans. Install floor & firewall. Plumb & wire.

    Not much but enough.

    I's residing in my trl. right now.

    It sits 4" off the ground to the rockers & I run 16/33/15 rear tires inside the wwells. I've move the driver position far enough back that you can't see me looking in the front windsheild. My seatbacks are right on the post & i'm sitting so low in the car that I have to hang my arm up & out the drivers window!!

    I've incorporated a cage that ties into the dash corners so its a bit more sturdy. I'm also utilizing a 9" rear hung with a pro stock 4 link & wishbone locator. I was to cheap to purchase a housing brace so I made one.

    The cage is mild steel. Motor & trans will be hung with almn. motor/trans plate. I've still got my old Liberty super T clutchless to use behind an almn. headed small SB chevy engine.

    Time is the killer for me right now.....I'll be back on it as soon as 1 of my cycles is sold.
