Geez, you get a perfectly good car and take it apart. Kids these days....

I didn't realize you were that far into it already. I saw (read) that the interior was out, but I missed the motor, nose, K-member, engine, etc. had been removed already. Looks good (I need to find a project car and a pile of money in the near future and get started).

I was surprised at how easily the motor came out the bottom ...

Do you have to "square" the K-member when you reinstall it?

There are cone shaped dowel pins that help align it ...

It went right back into place ...

You need to come to Lubbock and give me a hand when I install the C5 brake upgrade kit on my car
