Thank Jeff Please don't take the wrong way. I wasn't saying there is anything wrong with your setup. I was just asking questions to help straighten out some problems I might be having with mine. I was asking about the trans mount adjustment because small changes can fix drive line vibration problems. My u joint working angles are not equal so I think I need to work on the mount. I to am trying to build to original specs and as accurately as possible.

No negative taken.... we are cool
I am getting itchy for a drive and just need to assemble and leave it be. I have done my best to follow the old school technique and think I did a good job.
Just at the point where once its on the car it is there until it falls off...

Set gas cap ito body last night so its time to order braided cloth lines.....
Also starting inner panels to the frame... Yikes this just might be on the road soon.

Thanks guys!

i wonder, could you tell me exactly what bolts those are? - I dont recognise the head emblem - presumably some imperial variant? Im guessing the same were used on 427 cars?

They are Bowmalloy bolts from years ago. Think they, Bowmalloy, went defunct in the mid-90's?
