Thank you for the comments!!!

I am doing this the way I wanted to. And in the process I am not cutting, hacking, or modifying the body in anyway, so I can go for a more OE look if the end product does not suit the taste.

So, here are more updates.

1. Ordered a painless mopar wiring harness.
2. Ordered (Thanks Dante) trim pieces, carpet insulation, and screw kits.
3. Ordered the black inspection plate things that are for the inner fender wells (with screws) and a new clutch arm boot.
4. I am looking now for a radiator, as the messy state I bought this car in....didn't have one.

FYI, these pictures are not glamorous, sorry.

Fitting the starter, buttoning up the clutch stuff:


Rebuilt transmission (which by the way, 750.00 to rebuild, seemed steep, but the main shaft was worn and rusty, so the shop had to replace nearly all internals, so maybe 750 isn't bad.) being installed:


Snug as a bug:


Securing transmission support:


Weight of the motor squashed the front end down quite a bit - obviously that will have to be adjusted.





Weather stripping to put the doors, trunk, and hood on will be next to dent the check book, along with a radiator and hoses.



Man...I still can't get over how good the hood turned out. YEAHHH!!!



Have a great weekend fellas, and if any of you have a source on 22" radiators that are at least "mostly" correct, let me know.

later,
