Sorry to tell you OT we don't have the time to be working on it right now.  Sure would be nice to get to work on the body, that is are next big step.  But once you start it you have to finish so it will take up lots of time.  So we'll keep you posted.

  Swamp Dawg on page one of your rebuild, pics # 4,6 & 7 from the top down show the motor mounts. It looks like you used the original mounts & made up a couple of vertical brackets to secure them. Then you made up framing to accept the mounts. Am I right on this ??
  Also I would like to know how high the bottom of the base pan is above the "BELLY PAN". One last question, would you remember the size of the removable pan section ??    Thanks !! :)

   Looks good Dawg. I see there must be a shortage of TIM cups up your way. Guess it's because there is a big demand on them down around my way. When you make the hatch, be sure to take a couple of pics for Mike.
   
   Don't forget to get lots of pics of the rally this weekend. Looking forward to seeing them soon. Everyone have a great time.
