Mocking up the transmission mount crossmember out of PVC... think it'll be strong enough?

Got everything mocked up, engine placement etc. Pulled the engine/tranny back out to finish up brake/gas lines, shifter placement etc. It will basically putting pieces of a puzzle together going forward & I've mapped out the next few weeks & fortunately the weather has been cooperating, today started out at 44 & got up to 72! I actually broke out into a sweat... in January! Lonestar Round Up is in 15 weeks so that should work out!

These cars are unusual but cool. Not odd. You are making it cooler.

Oh yeah... they're odd but also... cheap! Haha!

Good day in the shop today & making progress... it's starting to fall into place! I forgot to mention... I cut 1 1/2 coils off the front springs! It also has hi-jacckers so getting a good stance is gonna be easy!
