That is going to be awesome. There is a '49 Ford F-1 just down the road I have been looking at. May have to go see if I can get it.

this is where the camAro front clip was welded in,spent most of day trying to clean it up,getting ready to get the frame painted,motor kit showed up today gonna send it to machine shop tomorrow

Not a fan of that connection, might think about putting some 1/4" plate on the sides and full weld it in place. But don't do a straight cut plate, have the plat curved on the ends like fish mouths or you will create weak points in your welds.
