    Great progress, looks fantastic. Are you going with stainless exhaust? Welding the tips?

    Thank you sir! The exhaust system is 304 stainless steel. I have exhaust clamps for the tips. I just put them on for the picture and will wait until I get the body and rear bumper on before I fasten them on.

    Here's what I got Ron. Bungs came from Amazon, I usually keep those & straight ones in stock.

    Wow that is super clean! I am assuming that you tack welded the clip on the under carriage?

    Hey guys I'm getting ready to install my o2 sensor for my Holley Sniper system and am trying to make it look clean. I'd like to install it on the passenger side header (see pic) and run the cable up the transmission but am not sure if there will be enough clearance since the body is off the car. I know that there will be a few inches considering the body mount bushings but am not 100%. American Racing Headers do tuck up higher than most. Thoughts?

    It doesn’t matter if it’s in gear automatic transmissions work on fluid pressure. Engine will always turn. Retrace your steps back. Remove the last torque converter bolt you put in and manually turn the engine backwards. If the bolt loosens pull the plugs and put a strap wrench on the balancer and then go backwards to get the other bolts out. When you get all three out push the converter towards the transmission and then the engine should spin free. Look at the flexplate the bolt holes for the converter should be recessed towards the transmission 

    Thanks Dennis I'll try that.

    sounds like the converter is not lined up with the pump, did you have trouble mointing trans to engine?

    When I installed the converter I stood the transmission up and rotated the converter until it dropped in. I then lined up the tranny, bolted up the torque converter and tightened the bell housing bolts. I guess I'll pull it apart again and check things out.

    The motor was turning fine. I turned it to install the torque converter bolts but now for some reason it's not turning. Maybe it's on a compression stroke. I'm just afraid to break off the crank bolt so I'm not getting too crazy with trying to turn it. I plan on hooking a starter up to it. I'm wondering if it might be in gear. In regards to the driveline I've pulled them out before and put them back in with no issues. However not with a fresh rebuilt transmission. I'm thinking that maybe the tolerances are too tight?
