Thanks! Your build is coming out nice. Good luck with it.

Little update. Reworked the frame again. Made some adjustments so that the exhuast would work for my kb kit. I think it came out pretty good. I had to redo the tranny cross member and also had to make a new mount. Tomorrow I'm going to install the flywheel, tranny and start bolting the rest of the truck together. I had planned to powerder coat the frame and everthing else but not anymore. Rattle can will work just fine. LOL





This is the transmission mount, I didnt get a finished pic but I'll post some later. This bolts to the crossmember.


and the rest of my fuel
system
