    If you make a list of everything, you won't get it done! That's why my truck is still not on the road. If you make a list of stuff you can get done in a weekend, you have a much better chance! When you get ready to wire it, let me know. I will give you a deal on a rebel kit (we are a rebel dealer). I'll even help you wire it if you need it. Just make sure to go with gm style switches, they are so much easier.

    I've got the template somewhere I'll try to find it. Each application will be different depending on how high or low the motor is. I just sat the motor where I wanted it then got out the poster board and started cutting it to fit. And as soon as I got a piece (shape) that I liked I traced it on to a piece of aluminum then cut that out with a cut off wheel, then clamped that down to a piece of plate and cut it out with a plasma . I'll see if I can find and post a pic of the template.

    Cool. The main part I want to see is where the bottom of the top mount bolts to the bottom mount with the rubber mount in between. How I picture it in my head is, there is a bolt that runs from top on the inside down though everything with nut on the bottom. John
     
  30. Good looking car and a great thread.
    I'll follow this till i see the tailights leaving your shop.
