Finally painted firewall last Thursday. Not that it matters a lot, the 2k rattle can I had mixed up ended up matching real well. Installed motor and trans on Friday, had to work Monday. Finished Trans crossmember today. May end up doing a custom one. When t-case is installed will check front driveshaft clearance and see what I have. If it can be raised I will make a custom one. Plan is to get front suspension and riveted brackets out by end of week. Will work on installing column, new steering box, motor accessory drive and a/c box in place if I have time. Need all in place to determine shock hoop clearance. Moved Tilden engine crossmember as far back as it would go. Still have plenty of clearance to firewall on passenger side which was a concern.
