Well, I'm going to have to make the left side mount 1" longer after I bolted it on into position I noticed the trans mount location is offset to the right by 1"??? I'll just weld an extension on it rather than cutting out a new one.
Also got the rears hocks mounted stock location on the crossmember works just fine. I'll have to space the shock out 1/2" on thee lower mounting stud. But I didn't have to change anything.

Got a little done this morning. I extended the left side trans mount and welded both on.  Here are some pictures of the rear shocks. I just need to cut a couple os spacers for the stude and go to the Pull-a Part and find some shock washers.

I also put the headers on the mock-up engine to check clearances. I needed to trim a little off the inside flange on the frame.

Got every thing off of the frame this morning. I'll finish welding up a few things and grind some others.

Got all the mounts and crossmembers welded up. I was going to to put some angled braces in but i think the frame will be strong enough without them.
Now I just have to blast the frame and get it all cleaned up. Then I'll primer and paint with single stage epoxy. The frame will be satin black. All the brackets and non-stainless steel suspension parts will be powder coated. My neighbor has a walk-in size oven for powder coating. Not big enough for the frame but everything else can fit. I'll buy the powder and he'll just charge me for the baking.
