    I have made some progress on the '49...
    I set the "chevy" engine and trans in place last weekend and am working on the engine and tranny mounts. I will have the engine mounts welded in later today (am at work right now...) and will start pulling the cab so I can have free access to the trans and frame to start building the crossmember. I had to cut the old trans xmbr out and I have to remove the rest of it by drilling out rivets.

    I am going to do a little more trimming on the engine mounts to move the engine another 3/4's of an inch forward.

    This is the drivers side with the shorty header in place...

    Thanks for looking
    Mark
