    In that one pic I have the body, drivetrain and radiator layed out on the floor. I actually traced the outside and inside of the body, roughly penciled out the motor and traced the radiator...I had the the fan on and got the distributor 1" from the firewall. I picked everything up and marked everything out, snapped a few chalk lines and started cutting.

    Hope that helped, Matt
