Those motor mounts are fabricated to fit the 400. WTF!  I do like the high school bondo job on the front fender though. I had to look twice
to be sure my eyes were not failing me again.  Whatta HACK!

OK...JGODAR, why are these pics not on your sight...if you are truly going to post the good and the bad, then why not put these pics out there as well?? (um...cause Bob might get mad??)

lets see, home made engine mounts with out nuts, trans cross member not bolted in, fresh paint over dirt, grease and rust. urethane bumper repaired with fiberglass, no speedometer gear or housing, home made trans shift cable mounts, core support rusty on one side and bent on the other, upper control arm bolts installed backwards, worn out bushings on a car that all rubber was supposed to be new, all suspension supposed to be rebuilt...and...was this a result of George being impatient and wanting his car done?? lack of quality abounds on this car, and the only one to blame for it should be Bob, its his company, his employees, and his build, I bet the brakes are not new either, probably lucky to have new pads.
