[99 to Life]

5-17 Saturday. So I got some hours in friday and it was the worst day ever on the truck. spent forever redoing my engine placement. Long story short, to center the engine up front was throwing the trans way out, and or to center it up front was making the engine like 10* off side to side. Of course my picker was out of fluid so that made things much harder. So I had to just find the happy medium with centering the engine and the trans, and keeping my side to side at zero degrees. My engine angle is about 1* down making the trans 4* down. Sat I finished up my trans xmember. I made it so its a little lower so I have to add washers to space it up to get my trans where I want it. I did that just to be safe, lets me have some engine/trans angle adjustment. On the pass side of the xmember I welded nuts to a plate and welded it to the frame so you don't have to stick your hands down the frame to bolt the xmember on. So this thing should come off very easy if needed.

I tore apart the actual front clip I'll be using. Im gonna toss cab back on and double check everything with the actual front clip. Sanded and coated a little more on the frame, one being the rear cab mounts that I'll be mounting soon, I wanted to get some chassis saver behind them before I welded them up.

Not much to report really and I'm a little farther behind on everything by a couple weeks or so, but it should be coming together nicely in the next month. I just ordered my aluminum 3core radiator, literally scrounged up the money for it.
