4 speed hump welded in had to add a few inches on the drivers side due to donor of the hump having rot. I’ll clean it up seam seal.. go underside and dolly it tight weld and seal as well..

If you have new brake lines, it would be easier to replace them before you drop the motor in.
Porpotion valve and lines are ✅ done
Rebuilding master cylinder. Hope to have engine and transmission in place today.
 
10-4....just saw the brake line going across the firewall had gotten painted white and figured you'd replace it since you're working so hard to make the car nice.

:thumbsup:

That line is staying white lol I painted it
On purpose.
 
I hope in the midst of the rattle can rebuild you replaced the Nylon geared timing chain... Nothing like a freshly used install having an Achilles heel

no rattle can I used a paint brush, engine was run for 2 hours with steady oil pressure 60 lbs 80,000 original miles removed the original clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing.
No reason for me to send it out unless I blow it up. Then I’ll do it again. Takes me 2 days to do. And I have plenty of time.
