Shae's '68 NB Fish
Last nights update:
Sorry took so long to do something else on her, but with my previous frustration level I took a nice little break. Went back to it yesterday after flushing the cooling system cleaner from the Jeep and replacing with coolant.
Finally got the motor mounts done, and let me tell ya, schumachers are worth every effin Penney. Had to do .25" shim passenger side and 1/8"~ shim drivers side. All together Im not sure I accomplished much with all this headache. Gained about .5" pass side and probably near .75" drivers side from previous mounting. Pretty sure I still need a hole in the hood, looks like a heater is possible now though, which is a HUGE plus.
Today its prepping and removing the front clip+firewall from the donor, which shouldn't take long(hopefully) than moving on to pulling the current firewall and prepping everything for the new front clip to go on. Took some pictures of the reasons for firewall removal so you guys have a better understanding. Also throwing in pictures of the current motor position, no front clip so it'll be hard for you guys to see a change I think.
My welding is getting better, i'm sure the mounts just look like a glob of weld to you guys, but I figured there was no way in hell I wanted them to break, and I might as well use em for welding practice. Did come up with a nifty new phrase though :D
If at first you don't succeed, weld another bead. :D
