Jeff,

Nice job! Good that you had help. I have done it by myself and it is a pain in the ass! Much easier with help. Looks great.

Motor and transmission connected and bolted to frame.
As mm count it took a few messaging’s to get right.
It’s in for the long haul…….
Seats just set in

Now to add alternator, breathers, belts, expansion tank etc….
