Didn't get a chance to take a pic of the brp trans mount installed or of the steering column with its new cover.
And those are umi tubular upper control arms. Going to see if the c6 compressor will clear those a arms.

Didnt crank. We are thinking that the original motor might not have been locked up. It might have had electrical issues. No power to the starter and no power to the fuel pump. 0 fuel pressure. We jumped the neutral safety switch under the dash and still nothing. It's getting power to the fuse block and PCM. The dash is lighting up. You can jump the starter and it will turn over, but not with the key.

Little update. The rear end and leaf springs were a pain in the ***. After fighting the leaf spring bolts, i decided to go ahead and order new bushings, bolts, and shocks. I should have my c5 compressor and custom ac lines by next week. The rear end is on hold until my caliper brackets come in. They were left out of the kit I ordered from summit. Started putting the front cap back together. As far as I know, the only thing left to get is exhaust welded up and tires.
