A few updates. Was able to roll the car out of the garage this weekend on it's own suspension. Finished welding in the upper control arm gussets, upper shock mounts, and frame boxing plates. Still need to weld in the down tubes and shock tower delete plates, but I will first fab up the transmission cross member so I can return the coyote motor to my buddy.







Hope the car is not sitting too low once the real wheels and tires are on.

Man that motor is huge. It looks good in there though. Congrats on getting the car back onto its wheels.

Thanks Trey. The motor sure is big. I believe it is even wider than the boss '9 motor.

Nice job on the crossmember! Where did you get those rubber bushings, I would like to use that ice on my 68 Torino.

Thanks, Joe

Joe/Curtis, I bought them through Off Road Warehouse. From what I remember they are just bulk bush kits. Another alternative would be to buy bushings from energy suspension like these and use the appropriate tube diameter.
