time to finish up the cross member
make the e-brake work

weld some braces too

then paint

and done

then little stuff like - will an 18" wheel fit on the back - yes

and rubbing issue.... such a temptation to just grind that 1/4" off

then fix the clutch linkage

the car was a 4 speed car and those rods were likely there since new.... the pivot was half worn through - so it was time to make it a bit better
