Santa brought a plasma cutter!
Brake pedal and steering column support cut out.
Inside, you can see where I was sloppy, starting on the top left. By the time I got the right side, I had the hang of it.
Firewall before taking the cutter to it. It had already been attacked by the sawzall.
Firewall after the plasma cuts.
I threw on the fenders and hood today to see how they fit. Then I slapped on the grill just to remember what it looked like all together. The intake tube is sitting against the hood but the engine is still on top of the motor mounts so the few inches it will drop when it’s bolted in should be perfect.
I finished mounting the front suspension and put the wheels on, then swapped the motor over.
The passenger motor mount is bent way back. Looks like I’ll have to order the parts for that before the motor can be bolted in.

Here’s a shot of the old frame with the engine out so you can see just how smashed it was.
