The build is coming along nicely. Maybe I’ll start to do a build thread on here as well. What transmission crossmember did you use?

I built my own crossmember, the 200-4R has the mount farther back, and I had to mount the torque arm to it. So I welded up what I needed. Ive been building a lot of things myself on this, hope it all works.

I wanted to do something different, so instead of the old floppy heater hoses, I made mine out of metal tubing. And installed an shut off galve so in the summer I can stop hot water from adding heat to the interior.

Sure wish someone knew how to take these side trim down so I could get the headliner out. I dont want to break them but I want to put some sound deadener above my head liner.

I guess we cant post video, I installed remote door locks. Bought the kit from ebay, $33, somewhere around that. Easy to install, work great. Has wires with diodes you hook to the front turn signals and all 4 signals flash when you use it. Has a wire to run to an electric trunk lock, (Im looking for one of those from a 70's GM car) so you can pop the hatch.

How were you able to post your photos on here? Did you have to upload the photos through your computer?

I use postimages.com, and copy the direct link. then when you click the img box at the top of your post it appears below. You then click the center of that link and paste it there. You can preview bore you submit it.

I started the painting process, got my door jams, and hatchback area painted. Im gonna really like this color, its a bit darker than the color chip looked, but like it better. Tomorrow I will be doing the whole car, more pics to come.
