It's been a while since the last update, Springtime comes with lots of extra projects!!
I have the front section of the cross member about done and tacked in position, ready to finish welding to the frame. The last step to finish it up is to make up some gusset plates for the center drive shaft hoops at the bottom. Those will just be tacked in until the engine and trans get mocked up. Also trans mount will need to be built.

Tacked up and in position to get the angle for drilling the exhaust cut out hole.

Progress as of tonight, 5-20-15. The total weight so far is about 57 pounds (I've been weighing the pieces on the bathroom scale as I go) so the whole thing shouldn't be more than 65 to 70 pounds when it's done.
