Here is what I accomplished so far this week.
The rear transmission mount hit a bit so I notched out part of the body.
I use cardboard to make templates for what I need to cut out of metal.
I need to do a little more grinding on it yet but here it is all filled in.
Here is the last mount I had to make.
I don't know how many of you noticed the big gap between the sub frame and the body it self. Anyways I decided to make the tunnel bigger so the sub frame now goes up to the body.
I tacked a square bar connecting the two ends so the sub frame keeps it shape after I hack the top off.
Here is the new shape of the sub frame.
I made all my templates and then cut them out of 3/16 thick metal and welded them in place.
Tomorrow I will finish grinding my welds on the sub frame and box it in rest of the way. I also have an idea for moving my steering rack so I'll try that tomorrow. Friday I will more then likely paint the engine bay as well as my brackets and replace all the gaskets on the engine.
New Update
You will also need to notch out the passenger side to allow clearance for the power steering pump.
