      in with the "new" core support.







      front sheet metal installed







      drove it home...

        working on a set of custom engine stands for the atlas swap...

        first design looked good, but very flawed dimensionaly.



        Second design looked better, but still had issues.



        hopefully 3rd time is a charm. (not done yet...)

                  Painting it or coating it with another method of choice?

                    probably just paint.
