no problem I am glad you guys are enjoying the thread so far. I have some ideas for the '76 I want to play with down the road that will be fun too. I am boning some parts off it here and there but it will be back.
I was thinking a bit ago, when I took the brackets off the engine there were only 3 bolts in them, instead of 4 like there should be. I thought one must have worked loose but now that I look at these pics and think about it, I bet whoever patched these brackets up redrilled the holes off and could not get all four bolts in. I'm not sure if I even want to use these brackets now. I guess I could figure out which hole is off, weld it in and drill it again. I think I'll just see what the ones on the '78 look like and hopefully they are in better shape to do the cradle mod.
Maybe I will not go bother my buddy tomorrow and just see about getting the '78 cutting. That sounds like more fun. I can go over there and patch the deck up one night after work or next weekend, there are just a few small pin holes in it.
