Was able to get my tru-turn in place thanks to some nice CT weather the past few days. Please all take a look and see if everything looks correct Haha Hope to get this guy back onto the car over the next few days

The frame looks nice! Your question about build sequence is a really good one. I've gone back and forth on what to do in what order along the entire way once I reached the point of epoxy. Changes things considerably once you have a finish you're trying not to scratch. Since I didn't have any running and driving history with my car I decided to put the car together in epoxy and run it knowing I would likely make changes. Keeping in mind the subframe and rear end were done in epoxy with intent to be the final finish. One thing I would change next time is I would spray the UPol Raptor liner on the tub before final drivetrain assembly but that's probably cause I'm lazy and don't want to tear the car back down to spray it now.

yeah the order things need to be done is very confusing plus I second guess everything I do. I am going to get my 4 link in then look to upol the bottom.

Great build! That Mast pan looks really nice. What made you go with it over the Holley?

Everything I read found the mast pan cleared the tru turn better than the Holley pan. I guess we shall see

well I got the front clip back on the car. I have not torqued it down yet . Hopefully tomorrow I can take all the measurements and make sure it is square. I had to throw the radiator support on just for fun while I had all my new body bushings out.
