Well, I was able to make a little headroom today.
Since the new place came up, I haven't even been able to even untarp it, but today, i figured there was a few things I could do with out any cash on hand, so here is how it went;
I started by altering the motor mount towers for the funny Caddy motor mounts.

I actually had to hog out both of the holes...one V8 hole. and one inline hole. I was using a 5/8 inch drill bit.

For lack of better tools, this is how I had to join the 2 holes together.

I had to use a small spacer on the drivers side, mostly to make the angles right, but I wanted to move it over a bit too.

You can see, I still need to beat on this frame rail a little, and the towers are not bolted in yet, but it is sitting there with no hoist. http://classicheartbeat.com.westserver.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

'69 G.M.C. (http://geocities.com/andys_69_gmc/) 350/350 and a heluva cam. Still trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man.
The 1970 One ton Longhorn (one of only 1404 built) with only a TH350...soon to be CADDY powered and a TH350.
