One more photo from last night . . . The simple task of installing the headers and sidepipes turned into a nightmare ! The sidepipes have pins that locate them to the running boards , and I was sure the engine was mounted correctly , but with a trial fit of the exhaust the engine appeared to be about 3/32" too high . How could this be ? Everything fit before and now this . I accepted the fact that I did something wrong and donned some latex gloves to handle the almost finished model . I cut loose the front wishbone and the engine from it's mounts , then did some trimming of the mounts so the engine would sit lower . A test fit showed that the headers now lined up properly so I glued everything back together . Even the radiator hose fit perfectly ! What's strange is a closer look revealed that the engine mounts would have worked without being trimmed , huh ? Here's everything installed and ready for the final assembly .  |

That's going to be one of the best stock Boss A Bone builds around. Very nice work!

Also, I really liked seeing the step by step on the restoration of this! Really interesting to see everyone's processes in a build!

I have to agree with Scott. Bob you have this restoration stuff figured out. That picture of the chassis looks like a 1:1 from one of the car shows.
