Falcon, you gave me a great idea. If I can build a bracket to offset my motormount by say 1 1/2 " foward, on the drivers side, Ill have the clearance I need to get my headers to fit, with out having to move the whole engine foward by 1 1/2 inches, just might fix my problem! Thanks for your post!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Yeah, Id rather move the mount than the motor, Stovens. Glad it might have helped you!
We finally got the decklid, doors and rear fenders on, primered, and sprayed with guidecoat. Now for a lot of wet sanding and hopefully some color in the near future.

I was painting a 95 Honda Civic I bought to get it ready for re-sale and ended up with 1/2 gallon of Corvette Red left over so I found a good use for it. Now all my interior parts and wheels are done. Pardon the crappy cell phone pics.Last edited by falconvan; 04-01-2012 at 04:55 AM.

Not much exciting to show but lots of wet sanding going on It took about 10 hours just to do the door and part of the cowl and quarter. I dont know if its Nason primer or that I let it dry for a few weeks before starting sanding but this stuff is really hard to sand.
