Seeing how the rack will fit down in between the two sections. Also did the build up of the main crossmember so I can put the motor mounts in and also drill in the slot for the steering shaft.

Some times you have to cut away to make it right! The rebuild of the crossmember and plate to hold the steering rack in, also this part help drilling out the hole and line up for the steering shaft to slide inside the crossmember under the motor mounts.

DSE clip with the body mounts move on the left and a stock clip ready to get cut up for a different design on the right! Also the one on the right will be made for "Legend" another built I will be starting up on here in a few weeks and this clip will be a strut clip then a A-arm clip.

one side of the motor mounts made in two of the three parts. They will be bolted together and to the frame and block when done.

Thank you Derick, I still have to make the one part to go to the motor and then make the two pad spacers to go in. I almost screwed up as I have both a normal block and the LS block photos in the same folder and started building off the wrong photo.

Was working on the right side today, was able to get the A-Arm pad made and the shock tower started and little of the extra detail done.

Here I got the right side done with all the little detail in and the shock wire tie in place, also on the left side you can see how I started it out and showing that I have the lower A arms in place and shock mount angle right.

Thank you guys for looking and thanks Bill, It means a lot hearing it from people like you on your high end builds as you help push it.

Getting the left side done today! a lot of test fitting and making sure each part comes together and will work.

Now that the front clip is about 80% done I can change over to doing some of the motor and body work. I will go back to make the A-arms later after I get the bolts and shocks in.

Was able to get the shock tower area done and the body mounts and trans mount in tonight.

I was able to get back on Brute Force, the nose is starting to come together with just a couple of things to complete tomorrow and it will be done on the nose so I can do the spoiler and trunk area and then the bumpers.

Thank you Marshall for the kind words. I'm hoping to have it to the point I can shoot another coat of primer and wet sand before heading west so people can see it on the primer table. I'm learning a lot on this and even though it's not done in brass I'm trying to replicate the same way as Bill and Mark is doing there stuff.
