Day 1 and 2 of 2016 Rebuild

This is taking longer than I want since I am currently working 12-14 hour days 7 days a week. However, I am still dedicating an hour or 2 a day to finish this. April 2nd is my deadline. There is a show and shine I need to attend that day.

I have gotten my powder coating done from ORF Powder Coating and Fabrication. They did a perfect job on it! I got the engine put on it, but I stripped one of the motor mount locations so I will have to get a tap and die set to fix that....ugh...

After a trip to Lowes the next day the guy sold me a metric and SAE tap and die set. I came home to fix the mount and realized the guy was wrong and it was only metric. Shame on me for not double checking....back to Lowes. 

Once I got back with a full set, I was able to fix the mount and mount the engine properly. As you can see I also mounted the seat and floor panels. I also mounted the seat belts.It's hard to see, but I also mounted the brake master cylinder and the pedals.

I want to do the axles, however, I need to take the front axle to ORF Powder Coating and Fabrication to get a jig made up so I can make my own front axles and get it powder coated while I am there. The rear needs 2 more torsion bars. They must wait until payday. I will be calling Hyper Racing about getting those.
