Don't forget the sway bar when you're going over the firewall.

thanx Joe!, i noticed i missed the center link when i got home and uploaded the pics!!
lots of simple green water and 1000 grit paper for the pinstripeing!!
wire wheeled the a frames (gold yuck!)

That IS the center link, isn't it?
No wonder my sway bar was so hard to install!
;)

Great work on a beautiful car!

I do not want to hi-jack your thread, but couldn't help noticing your engine mounts. I also hope I don't offend you by asking this but I really need a good answer to my question.
Are the mounts BB or SB mounts? I have exactly the same on my 67 (327 cu in) but the do not look right as they are not supported by the subframe "all the way" (hope you know what I mean). Shouldn't the bottom of the mount rest completely on the frame? They look "off-set" and "moved back" closer to the fire wall. In my 67, it appears as if the distributor ends up too close to the firewall due to this.

Am I totally wrong here...Please help:o

Looking good tony!!
