Motor is resting in place. I'm just waiting for the paint to dry on the old parts on the mounts.

Looking good. I put my motor in the same way, with the frame dropped to the floor.

Man I'm going like gangbusters again. Had to drop the cross support to get the transmission in. It was a bear.
Doing all this stuff by yourself takes alot of lookin and head scratchin to make sure you do it right and not end up with something very heavy on a toe or something.

What is that round tank in front of the transmission for?  The radiator overflow is inside the engine compartment so just curious what that is??

It's a noise filter I believe.

The grill is just set in place, but more parts are being added every day. Filled up the pan with oil, and NO DRIPS!

Yours is really looking good!  Your doing great considering it sounds like your a one man show.  I have been doing most of the work on mine by myself also, so it's good to see someone ahead of me making it on their own.  Can't wait for nicer weather to work on mine more!  keep it up!
