One more and yes I know I have in insulators under the motor mounts I we'll install them later lol.

Ok got some more done today . I have the motor mounts now welded in and have the steering column now in and all I need is a universal joint were I have the pipe bolted in temporarily to steer in shop.

This column came out of a Chevy chevette and seems to fit real nice and easy lol

nice

looking good[cl

are you leaving the grille bars

mine looked better without them, so l left them off and used flat plexi-glass on the turn signals to clean up the front-end.

please leave the patina, it is spot on[cl

keep the pics coming, l am enjoying this build[

Later

 

[Cookiejar]

I think I am gonna leave the grill bars on I kinda like the look but I we'll try and straighten them and then polish them and the patina is gonna stat as is for now anyway .
