Body:
Removed the front round crossmember that ran under the stock clutch housing. After the engine was in its final location, relocated and welded it back in.
Removed the cross bar at the front of the heater shelf. Removed the diagonal supports that run from the shock mounting area to the heater shelf. Shortened these to clear the headers and welded back in.
Modified the inner fenders to clear the headers and allow better air flow. Cut out 2 to 3 inches of sheet metal at the bottom of the inner fenders by the headers. This allowed for better airflow when the car is going over 35mph but doesn't help much in stop and go.
Cut the front frame extension assembly and widened it to clear the bottom of the radiator. Cut the radiator duct panel forward (about 4.5") to clear the radiator and the electric puller fan.
Cut the floorboard brackets near the tunnel, fabricate, relocate, and weld in new brackets when fitting up the engine and tranny.
Widened the stock tunnel to clear the tranny.
Rolled the steering rack down toward the rear of the car. Cut a notch in the frame crossmember and welded in a piece of sheet metal to fill in the notch.
