[QUOTE="wayne86, post: 700949, member: 7897"] Over the weekend I was able to finally mount the cowl and hood in a semi permanent fashion. I took the windshield brackets off of the cowl and welded some tabs to the cage to bolt into the sides of the cowl. i used a piece of angle iron to lift the cowl up a quarter inch so the hood and cowl gap was straight. I will rivnut the lip of the cowl to the angle iron for another bolt on point. I can also drill into the flat side of the angle iron and rivnut the holes to bolt on the body panels when that time comes. The Front driveline is a two piece unit with the WOD carrier bearing. After doing some research and talking to a few people I decided to use a half inch piece of UHMW to space the carrier bearing frame bracket from the carrier bracket with the idea that if it binds up too bad it could spit the UHMW out. Thanks for the idea slravenel! My bump stops, trick tabs, and fuel lines, fittings, filter, and pump should all be here tomorrow. I'm out of town this weekend so won't get much done until next weekend.
