    I haven't put a dust shield up yet, the starter I used was a Robb Mc starter, much smaller and fit perfect. I did make a 16 gauge metal shim for the starter. the gear was getting stuck otherwise.

    EDIT: I did cut off the tab by the header. loped it right off like Vincent Van Gogh's ear.

    Looks good, did you rattle the case cast Iron ? powder coated ? It looks really good like that.

    The tranny is painted black, and then dusty.

    Body back on, but not bolted down yet. No clearance issues on the body or tranny I can see yet. Videos on FB @ Murica's garage or Muricagarage.com. 20190911_193551.jpg

    Well...Not really. I did put a no hop kit on the rear and bought a anti roll but haven't installed it. I feel like I need to go backwards a bit. forward right now may not be an option.
