[99 to Life]

Ok last weekend, first I came across this 64' that is just about to go to the scrap yard. So with title I am most likely picking this up and saving it's life. It needs a lot of work, but it will be worth it.

Now for my 51' more chassis work, I know it is prolly boring for all you to see what has been done before. But I finally got the moch up engine ( I love having one of these for moch ups) and got the motor mounts in. What we did was copy the mount pattern to a piece of steel and drilled the top holes and bolted it to the engine. Then we lined up the engine with the tranny and drive shaft. We used the drive shaft as a good reference because initially we had the cab and be on there for alignment, along with tranny and engine.

So once we centered the engine and made sure the drive shaft was centered, we welded the plate to the crossmember for extra support. then drilled the bottom holes for the mount.

Next mission is to make the tranny member and bolt it all up. Soon I am getting everything put back on for a last button up, but have to do exhaust and break lines still.
