Got the fuel sump welded in last night, that thin stuff is tricky to tig.

Thank you! been a little slow with the car lately, I gotta get back on it

Got my tach mounted up, and started making a filler piece for the passenger side mini tub.

Also made a reverse lock out lever for my shifter from some scrap aluminum. And got a sweet deal on an 850 profrom carb.

Got some paint on the mini tubs, they turned out pretty decent I feel. they fit nicely on the stock quarter trim. also picked up a th400 cross member pretty cheap, and used rustoleum rust dissolver on the roof sheet metal, that stuff works really well getting rid of surface rust.

mocked up my th400 over the weekend, had to modify the crossmember a little to make it work.

Also found a deal on a set of weld RT-S wheels I couldn't pass up

Very nice welds. What did you have to do to the mounting pad?
