"El Mongrel" '65 Formula S Restomod

Those pictures of the empty engine bay and trans were taken during mock up. I had the motor in and out several times and did it all by myself. The final install was done just like you see it with the trans in position and the engine lowered in. Let me tell you, getting the upper bolts in along the upper bell of the trans case is a challenge. Any more engine/trans removal will be done by dropping the whole works out the bottom as a unit with the K member. If it wasn't a real Formula S and the body in such great shape I wouldn't think twice about slicing and dicing it ten ways to Sunday. I've got a rust bucket '74 Duster that I'm going crazy on with the sawsall right now.

You never know what will work until you give your ideas a try. Some times they work, sometimes they don't. I'm keeping my failures to myself!
