yay summer, finally getting back to the car.
first off lookie what i found huge black window, both the male and female.
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/EvoWizard/IMG_5439.jpg)

retrofiting bumpers! pretty easy took a note card to the 72 parts car lined it up with the edges and marked it accordingly, then brought it over and drilled it out with a 21/62 drill bit. just a little bit bigger then the bolt. worked great for the rear, fronts needed some adjusting.

yea gonna paint the bumpers black, hahaha were definitely spoiled here in ca with nice weather, its actually pretty weird that its so cloudy this week. as for that drive we can go up and down the coast once were both done. maybe hit up a canyon or something.

we cut out the front trunk for the radiator. thinking of cutting out the circles underneath as well.

They pull straight up, you can pry them up gently if they are corroded.

had to removed the expansion pack before removing the plug.

been slacking off but finally put in my order for the KEP adapter plate. trying to decide how i want to cut the inner fender for the radiator exhaust. either cut up the red sections and drilling holes in the center section looks like that part is reinforced. or just cut up the entire section in green like what i see most people do.

The large reinforcements are for the 75/76 impact bumpers. You've backdated, so they're just dead weight now. Drill/cut right through them.

This will be the exact position our engine is gonna sit in the engine bay. At the moment only the tranny is attached to the body. We're gonna work on modding the small car engine mounts. We tried to mock up the engine bar w/ the mounts but the small car mounts overlapped by a guesstimate of 1/2-1". So we're gonna use 5/16 thick angle stock and create some sort of mount to adapt the small car mounts to the stock engine bar.

The two side pieces are. I intended to use it as well, but then chose to keep the exhaust crossing in the front for the turbo plumbing, so needed to use a different mount.
