Dave, HF has face shields for next to nothing. Metal fragments in the eye is no picnic. Been there. Before OSHA!

Take care.

I think your shoe is on fire, Mr. Safety.

All I had at the time.

All my HF goggles dried up and fell apart in the desert outdoors. OSHA would certainly shut me down. Hey, HF is having a parking lot sale! Could use some more cut-off wheels ...

Orange shoes, must be reflecting, yeah that's it. Luckily no body parts or items of apparel were damaged. And actually, I am quite careful for a careless waif.

Had that been the case, I am sure there would have been more photos!!!

Sold a few parts off the 'Burb yesterday and borrowed my buddy's power washer, so we'll see just how much of that 60 year accumulation of caked-on fluids, mud and road grime come off the Pontiac today. Been giving it diesel fuel showers and scraping for about 3 days, and even hit metal in a few places!

Engine and trans out of the Suburban and a few more parts before it goes to the crusher. Then roll the Chieftain into place for its drivetrain!!!

Fitting the engine in place is a really fun step. It is the step that turns an old clunker sitting in the yard into a hot rod that gets everyones interest. [P

Well, I will try not to disappoint! It is going to be a fab-your-own engine and trans mounts since there are none on the car right now. That should prove interesting! I'll try and get a "floating engine" shot.

Sorta in place ...

And here it is:

Floor jack under the back of the trans is about where it will need to sit so that the driveshaft goes through the hole in the chassis X member. Front is sitting on a 2x4 block on the front crossmember. Oil pan clears the steering arm and it looks like a tight fit for the used Hedman headers I have, but might work.

Side view:
