[brimc]

Well then I got the front xmember cut down some more and then dropped the engine back into the frame to check it out.





Looks much better now. Just have to clean it up and paint it. I am not going to re-inforce it. It will be strong enough plus I have a 2x2 tube welded just in front of it ( below / behind the bumper ) with welded tow hooks.
Started mocking up the exhaust at this point. I am going to try and re-use a stock 2nd Gen front pipe.





Also mocked up the stock 1st Gen driveshaft. It fits perfect.















Time to break it down and start cleaning, re-sealing and painting everything up!
