Well it has been another week working on my coupe. We got the frame completely boxed and mocked up the motor and got the motor mounts welded in place. Plan on finishing the split wishbone plates and putting the ladder bars in this week. Here are a few pics. Still having a blast.

No. The Falcon has been saved from the torch for now. My pops found this motor and tranny for me last week for cheap. Motor mounts from Mike at Sachse. Motor is a 283 with a poweglide tranny. Sorry Not your jack stands. Hope all is well

somehow getting the motor set in always gives a sense of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel well at least for me it is http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
