The cam phone pic didn't turn out real good and have some cleaning to and a few more hold downs. also thinking about putting a black wire loom on the hot cable on passenger side shock tower. Also the export brace is off by about a quarter of an inch going to have to figure out a way to squeeze it on or spread shock towers a bit. Any help for these problems are appreciated.

Looking good!

1/4 inch isn't too far off for the brace. For mine I was able to loosen the bolts at the firewall and that gave enough play to line up the brace and shock mounts to the bolts through the shock towers. Once I got the nuts started, I tightened the firewall bolts.

jack the car up by the center cross member, that'll give you all the flex you need. Friend did it on his 69 Mach, worked perfect

i for one have always hated the split loom stuff, don't do it, just get a black cable if that's what you're after. if jacking the car up by the crossmember doesn't work you may have to get a port a power after it, that's what i had to do.

Jacked up by cross member still not there so I unbolted the back placed the right side on and bolted down then took a come a long with strap instead of cable and sucked it up just enough to bolt down other side then bolted down the back. It's on Thanks guys.
Got the billet grille in and new chrome molding's around it. I have to install the polished dress up things for the rad support and the sides. Also put in the K&N. Then engine compartment is done. Then on to the carpet and seats as well as the stereo. Fun fun
