Ah yes, I'm sure you got to do all of the same fun stuff. An astute observer might notice that the engine mount brackets are the larger car variety, the engine cross member was obviously fabricated to deal with this since that's what came out of the car.

Is that white wooden stick prop rod original on your Gremlin, mine had telescopic prop rods back in the day. They didn't work as well as that stick though. Cool ride

    Thanks and keep up the good work.
