sounds like i will have a couple welding jobs to do when im down next, while I'm at it hit me with a measurement from the firewall to the ear and i can bring some tubing and plates to do some cfr style supports. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Done deal Ian! Restoration design was able to get my parts out today. Hopefully I will see them by friday. Things are looking great but I think I will hold off on installing the motor. I will be rebuilding the tranny at the clinic in 2 weeks. May as well just wait until I get back.

The suby914 is a different story. I think I am going to put it back in my car with the shift rod in place. Then tow it to the local muffler shop to get the exhaust done. That way I can actually have everything ready for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So here is a pic with the battery tray gone. All the surface rust cleaned off. Then everything primed. I've still got a couple small pieces to grind off I missed. Basically ready to install my new support & tray. I also have the CFR suspenion ear stiffening support to go on. Along with the extra piece welded to the firewall & the ear for extra support.

Thanks to Restoration Design for the battery support & tray. I should have them soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Or you could take this excellent time to relocate the battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yeah I know but I have never been a huge fan of putting the battery in either trunk. So I doubt I will move it. I'm good with it in the stock spot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Battery tray installed & one CFR reinforcement piece for the suspension ear. Passenger side is on at least. We'll add the support bar to the firewall next time. Along with doing the driver side. Thanks again for the help Ian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks to Ian my suspension ear is all finished. We added the CFR reinforcement to both ears. Then added a plate on the firewall. Then cut & welded a bar from the ear to the firewall. Really turned out nice.

Ian stayed until midnight welding it up for me last night. I know he had a busy week & I really appreciatted all the welding he has done for me. Next time he's down I am going to get some welding lessons too. You rock Ian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Just curious does that CFR brace still allow for the heater tube?

Hey Steve I think you can do the setup & still allow for it. I only used CFR's suspension ear reinforcement. There adjustable brace bar is a much nicer setup. I just went with a straight bar. MY v8 conversion doesn't use the ehater tubes anyway. So I really didn't worry about if it sat in the way of that.
