The Radiator mounts that we fabbed to mount to the rails along with the Setrab coolers for the power steering and tranny. I plan on using Weldon 9200-a pumps for the tranny along with another one for the rear diff too. I am still working out the details on the plumbing at this time!!!

It appears - in the photos of the column / firewall marriage -- that the firewall is welded to the frame... is it?

Yes, It is one. All of our cars up until this point have been built with the body coming off the chassis. On this car, weight and cost were taken into mind when making the decision to be one. Plus the car was kind of that way to start.

Why would you not keep it Unibody?

Well anytime you put a chassis under a car you have options. We put new floors in the car front to back so we could go either way. We didn't use one stock thing under this car. So its not like we just could keep what was there. If I was building an all out show car I would make the chassis separate from the body. Detail, Detail, Detail.
