    Ok gang,if you have been following along...The Sprint is getting a bit closer to roadworthy...sort of.After replacing the front suspension/disc brake swap and fixing a big old whopper of a hole (compliments of the swap monkey).I cleaned up the engine comp a bit and tidied the wireing some.I also added a 3-G alt into the mix.This weeks chapter concludes the major repair portion of the Yonkers Sprint rising from the dead.The original core support was hammered badly.My guess is the swap monkey dropped the 351 on the support while putting it in.Or dropped the 200/C-4 on it pulling it out.Either way the old one is out(after much spotweld drilling)The new one is now permanently in place and looks soo much better.The original was so horribly mangled I didnt even take a pic of it.(didnt want the camera to break)Of course I also had to repair the right fender apron(no surprise there) This did allow me to install one of the new "Battery trays" which fit superbly and looks so nice.Nuff said heres some pics.

    Good job!!! Thats a lot of work and progress. Need to fix my batt tray over the winter. Its not too bad but will need a patch in the end.
    We are trying to come across a spiral core batt. for me at work for next year.
