  As you can see there's not much room left. We built a new trans mount, made a few tweaks to the dip sticks so they stay inside & got everything lined up good. Even threw a drop of paint to the outside panels to smurf her up a little.
  He's itching to start the engine but gotta get a rad first. Guess we'll put the manifold on tomorrow & maybe start on the linkages for the motor.
   I tell ya, it's cutting into my stash.. going to have find a bank to rob. hahaha
 
                                                              Yes sir... OT'S happy taday !! ;D 8) ::)

  Thanks Grfishmaker !! To me it's like a million bucks already.. I certainly appreciate the help from my friends in the pics & the members from here. Only regret I have is not been able to help much with this project.
   I don't know what I'm going to do for the exhaust. Anyone got ideas ?? Not much room there.

                                                                  A Proud Old Trucker !!

   Thanks Oldsledz..
I'll rob one on your side of the border & make money on the exchange rate.. My neighbour that's helping me says tomorrow we'll install the manifold & route the exhaust out somewhere. I'd like to put it through the side but don't think there's enough room for that. I am looking at a 3" diameter resonator 15" long. I am looking for a deep throaty sound. Old School Rules !!

   LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE GETTING MUFFLED !!

    We got the exhaust system made up today & managed to keep it in the original spot. There's about 3/4" clearance around it.  Used a small 3" resonator & tied in a short piece of braided flex line. Tomorrow, we will make a "double" elbow so it will exit through the side. We used muffler clamps on the joins. We could have got more clearance if the joins were welded, but I think this will do. It's a good thing we made the access panels 2" wider than original.   
  Will all this work.... I hope it will. Here's a few pics of the setup.

  Grfishmaker, Orin, kpm, Gror, Oldsledz, Chopperguy.... Can either one of you tell me what you used for your gas linkage from engine to pedal. Anyone got a pic of how the gas pedal linkage fits ?? I have the original linkage but I need to see how it fits in place..   
                                                                            Thanks, OT.

without taking up the floor it's hard to get a picture from front to back...it's just a rod with a u clevis attached on to the pedal at front.
