PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR FINAL ASSEMBLY

With the engine partially assembled, the next step is to attach the clutch assembly and transmission.  We moved the engine to the assembly table as shown in the photo to the right..
The table is long enough to support the entire assembly.  Maintaining proper alignment of the engine and transmission during the assembly is difficult at best.  For that reason the engine has been strapped in position.  
After the assembly is complete, the final coat of paint will be applied.  Then we are ready to install the drive train.  
Soon, it will begin to resemble a car once again.  It is going to look soooooo good.

Love this car.
