not the permanent name for this project.
but i feel a wild hair growing, and i must pull it.
some of you my guess, but im not letting the cat out of the bag until im done today.
all i gotta do is paint and bake parts for the 6 door, and clean up the yard.
but todays project will assist in consolidating 2 projects into 1, along with a bunch of spare parts layin around.

ADHD much?

again, this was a quick, seat of the pants throw together.
2 parking spots consolidated into 1
a good days work.
i have a 125" wheel base.
the backhalf will get lots of plate and strengthening, along with a driveshaft loop.

the engine is almost in, there were some cast mounts for the stock engine i needed to cut out on both sides
got 1 cut, ran outta oxy on the 2nd.
but its mocked up.
tomorrow i may throw the D44 under the front.
we shall see what i feel like working on tomorrow.

i may just make a bumper for the 87
