My engine in position

Woo Hooo!!!

Kinda excited today, after repositioning my chassis in my work area, I decided to take it off the table today, project 1 done. I stripped my block of all the mounts today. Then I decided it was early enough ao I lifted the engine up, and positioned it in the chassis. I did have to get rid of 1 chassis tube to get the engine in position. Then after all the hard work was done a few friends of mine stopped by, and we spent the next few hours discussing the chassis, and how pretty it was. Kind of a milestone I guess, I fewel like a proud parent watching the child walk for the first time. Now I know it isnt anything 90% of the folks here havnt done already, but I cant seem to get this ear to ear grin off my face at the moment.

Well thinking ahead, I finally came up with a decent design for the passenger side motor mount that bolts up through the oil pan.
