the first pic was 6 weeks ago now. I have been driving it for almost 2 weeks. I have been gathering up parts for a while and when I was ready it went pretty smooth. I will post some progress pic. cross members dropped to fit the NV5600 in there.

Cut the 390 motor mounts up to make the Cummins mounts. really worked good.
