    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    So if you are so hung up on originality, why a rectangular tube frame, bumpers instead of quick jacks, and a BDR with a longer wheel base than an original. We wont go into fiberglass instead of...

    I don't see how you can think that way. The original cars are worth 6-7 figures based on their history (pedigree) and rareness. Somewhere north of 1300 total SB and 427 were built. No more...
