The garage looks empty LOL.
Got the car inside the shop. We left it on the trailer as it did not need to be removed to complete the work.
Grinding away all my nice bodywork (LOL) to expose the bare metal.
Mocking everything up to get it in place. We put the header back in to make sure everything cleared before doing the final welding.
My fabricator indicated to me that he felt the frame metal was too thin. So, he made a plate and then welded the heim joint bung to the plate and then the plate to the frame. He said he could not get a good angle to weld along the side of the plate. So, he told me once I remove the engine he will come to my house and use my welder to weld along the side of the plate just to finish it off. He believes it will hold as is, but just wants to finish it up.
And here it is all finished up. The steering is solid and turns smoothly and effortlessly. Awesome!!! By the way the hole on the firewall is where my throttle cable goes. Yes, the body work is cracked. That happened when I was pushing on the firewall for something. My body guy already told me he will help me get it sorted out. Once the throttle cable is bolted back in it will reinforce that area.
