I was more or less constrained by the Total Cost Involved IFS. I ordered it with mounts for the Coyote engine, but they didn't supply any corresponding trans mount. After I got the Tin Man subframe connectors welded in they looked like they'd be perfect to build off of for the x-member. ...Then I ran into the problem with the floors. However, I've made some decent progress on the replacement pans. I'll get back on the x-member this coming week.

Yesterday, Kathy and I went to a Van Der Brink auction close to the house. The owner of the place was selling about 80 classic / muscle cars. One of them was a 69 Dodge Coronet with a transplanted 440 and 4 speed. It went for $5500 which was probably a fair price. If I had a place to store it, I would have bid on it, but I took a pass on it instead. It was a fun outing though.
