I used duct tape to hold on about 8 of the bolts and the gasket so that as I raised the pan into place the gasket stayed put. I first tried with dental floss but it didn't work for me.

I spent some time beating on it with a 4 pound hammer.
Rolling and stretching the fenders resulted in a slight flare to the drivers side fender. Less clearance was needed on the passenger side so less rolling and stretching was done there. I decided it looked unbalanced so I did some work to give the passenger side the same amount of flare as the drivers side.
It needed a repaint when I bought it, now it really needs one.
My neighbors think I am insane.

Still haven't gotten out there with the camera. I did get out there with a power washer and managed to spray a lot of crap off the underside of the car. Most of it splashed back in my face.
Power washed the AOR transmission as well. Tomorrow, I'll install the only944.com shift linkage arm, Short shifter, and shift lever. Then the transmission get's installed.

I did some more power washing and installed a 044 fuel pump. AOR transmission goes in tomorrow.
I received a set of clear lenses for the rear side markers. I need to glue them to the housings from my original side markers. Any recommendations on a strong glue that won't turn yellow over time?

It was an AOT and I sold it a couple months ago. It went to Florida for a rebuild and then took a flight to the middle east to go racing.
Started fitting my GT racing rear bumper to the car(the stories about gt racing fiberglass parts needing a bunch of work to fit right at TRUE!) and installed the sub belts for the rear seat harnesses.

are you going with the black bumper strip? and i could be wrong but it looks like you have the smallest exhaust tip i've ever seen. might want something a little bigger. auto zone sells some…+10hp.

I pulled the exhaust behind the cat when I pulled the transmission. The open exhaust makes great power. OTOH, the missing transmission makes it hard to get good acceleration numbers. NO ->
I need one more part and I can install the AOR transmission and the exhaust will go back in place. I picked up some stage 8 locking CV bolts.
I have a beautiful wife and three boys(8, 10, and 13). If we are all going somewhere together we take our other vehicle(the dreaded minivan).
If my wife and I go out, we take the Cab.
If I take just one or more of the boys somewhere, we take the Cab. The oldest sits in front and the younger two sit in back. I was not satisfied that the rear lap belts would hold them securely if something happened. I only mounted the outer shoulder belt for each seat but that combined with the lap and sub belts should hold them in place in the event of a collision.
