Right on! thanks guys for the comments I did notice on some other members shots and those clamps are not in the right spot. I appreciate these pointers the car was all apart when I got it. Here is a picture of the car in the guys garage I bought it from. Note the construction supplies. The 6x6's and pier block came with the car too.

Added a special touch to the rear seat prior to installation. (color copy of the build sheet).

Thanks Dave for the comment. I'm re-upholstering my front seats and the first bottom came out OK. This is something I will look at every day and I want it to be perfect. I may take them into a shop and get some Ideas on Monday. I have two sets and I'm obviously using the best set of foam because they don't sell an after market replacement foam

One of my seat back was in pretty good shape but the materials don't match will try my luck at installing a new cover on the seat back this weekend.

Been awhile since I posted any pictures. Need to get back on track and get this thing on the road. Got the centerforce clutch installed and now its ready for the bell housing and tranny. All the parts came in for the A833 and it now complete ready to bolt up. My plan is to install it later this month in the car.

My alignment tool is of the larger version but You use what you have.. I cant believe the torque on these bolts is only 200"lbs seems low to me but I stuck some thread locker on them.

Tranny is built and ready to go. Fabbed a nice little rack to hold it until staging time.

Here is the latest picture. Plan on getting the undercoating shot in the fender wells. Once that is complete then install the motor and tranny from the bottom side

I saw that in my manual, and I did not perform the checks. Is it highly recommended from other members experience? I figured I would check fitment of the tranny and make adjustment as required. Not sure if my alignment studs are even adjustable?
