It's been a while since I've updated this board. The front clip is done and slides on/off real easy. I'm in the process of mounting the engine and trans. Here are some update pics. Keep in mine the engine needs to move up about 3". In order to do that, I'm going to have to cut some of the floor out for the trans to clear.
Its looking great. The front end work and clip is similar to what my Dad did to his 69 'Cuda:
His all steel front clip is all tied together and it locks in in the front and zeus fastensat the top of the fenders and uses the two lower mounting holes for attachment. Its not needed to be removed often(hopefully) mostly to making engine work easier.
EDIT: Looking at that pic, I realize he moved his upper shock mount. It was originally set up like yours.
