What spare tires were you usings as rollers up front, they looked like they could clear large rotors.

Thanks man, it really has!

You're right, they're 4th gen fbody donuts.

Went with S&P motor mount plates. We'll see how these fit.

Thanks, cars progressing nicely, keep the pics coming.

Thanks man.

I'm pretty happy with the front end fitment. Obviously not the best, but the car's main purpose is a driver, so it's definitely good enough for that. Sigh of relief when that rechromed bumper arrived and seemed to fit nicely.

AMD door skin was a tad too short, so having to add some metal to each side. Should be done with that little project next week.

Not a HUGE update, but a big step. Finally tore into the donor car (yes, I was riddled with guilt but the car currently has a salvage title and we needed a donor... we just got lucky and scored a nicer one than we thought we could find) and pulled the motor and transmission. We're going to attempt to sell the car once we are done getting the components we need, though we'll be leaving the car over all in tact minus you know, the drive train.
