here are a few more updates.
worked on the cooler mount for the steering fluid
it is 14ga with dimples for posterity
some additional love needed to be made with the release lever on the latch, but for the most part it all fits. just barely. the grille insert may need a touch of material sanded off in one spot also.
here are a couple of the t-case in the frame. hard to get a decent shot from the floor.
i also have this stuff i ordered a while back
and made this
from these things. a flaming river ujoint 3/4"-30x1"DD and a sweet mfg. 3/4"x36x3/4"DD, and a borgeson collapsible shaft, cut to fit.
