A little progress

Well I'm getting a little closer to dropping the body back on her, see the updateed roller pics. Just won my 409 stainless mandrel bent x pipe exhaust system off ebay (sounds a lot cooler than it really is), complete with mufflers and hangers. Someone was trying to be a slicky boy and sneak bid me out of it, well guess what? It's mine bitch! I really need to find the other reducer I misplaced(lost)and get a couple of down tubes and I should be good to go. Dropping the engine was a little anti-climactic. I opted not to get the Hayes clutch, a couple factors made this an easy decision. The clutch that was in it looked brand new and I didn't have the heart to throw it out. And after getting some advice from a transmission mechanic about the weak points being the tires for traction and possible problems with the clutch assembly due to pedal pressure I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money right now, it will be a decision made later based on how it works as is. Got a lot of little tweaking to do before the body goes, I'm going to try and get as much done as possible before putting the body back on but I'm almost there.
