Modify Everything
Ok got a little overboard on the motor removal. Snow and cold came early before I could take it back out. So.......the guys talked me into adding a few bars for safety. Since we were going to do that I decided to clean up the frame and rebuild the suspension a bit make sure things are good while its down.
Not sure what happened but I am missing some of the cage build pics from the beginning. I bought a new Baileigh Industrial bender and had my supplier drop off another pile of chromoly.

I soda blasted the frame down to fresh bare clean metal. Missing some of those pictures but anyway it was spotless. Primed and painted with PPG products.

Race seat was a temporary setup as I ordered custom seats later on for this.

Installed all new spring bushings and hardware in everything. The old ones hate life coming out. :hehe:

Put a slight recess into the firewall to allow the motor to fit better.

Gutted the wiring out of the first gen. I mean every last one of them once I was done.

Mockup Motor fabricating new engine mounts and trans mounts.
Decided I wanted to use a 48RE manual vb constant pressure trans that I built. Along with a modified 271 transfer case since the 205 is known to spread its gears on boosted launch's.
