Holy engine relocation Batman!

A little farther and you can use the v/c as an armrest.

Keep us updated.

You some kinda crazy man! :notworthy

What's up with the inner fender removal? What are you trying to accomplish there?

I'm assumming you're just going to have the outer fenders set up for quick bolt-on installation?

Keep the pics coming! 8)

The inner fenders are too small to fit 315 tires, so they had to go.

This is going to be the car to be when he's done. That is just the way it should have been from the factory. Only assembled and not so holey.
