New 3A (to me), Trans Cover & Seat Questions....

[SteveV]

Specialty, Thanks  I will be in touch on the seats. 

Today was good progress, was too busy for pictures, i will post some tomorrow.

Kirk Nice BOX!  Gave me a neckache checking it out but worth it.    Yellow wouldn't be my preference, more of a green.  The body was painted when I bought it a couple weeks ago.  I'm certainly not complaining, it's growing on me. 

macrisel Thanks for the info on the trans cover.  Mine ended up getting cut up today, I will post pictures tomorrow.  I also need to put shims the trans mount a bit more so the trans lays a little lower.  Someone had bolted down the body and the trans bent the body a little from hitting.

Here is the progress on the cover.  Not quite finished but seems to be going good. 

The fenders seem to line up with the grill & hood.  ::crossing fingers::

Only drawback with doing this & not moving the body is the rear goes past the frame a little bit. (as another member has pointed out)

Steve,
Grill, fender, and tub alignment are far more important than the tub hanging off the rear a bit.  If it ever ends up bothering you, you could always remove the rear bumper and shim it out a little.

Good idea. This is one of those things that Steve can do and nobody will know the difference except himself and possibly a few novice if cleverly disguised.

Small update....  Finally getting back to putting together the 3A.  Some issues, but so far, so good....Still deciding on Seats.  I might just pounce on these and make brackets.  Any have aftermarket seats that they made brackets for??
