Some more slow progress. I tacked the tranny mount in,
and checked if the propeller shaft was centered. It was
not Luckily I had built in some adjustability at the
motor mounts, and was able to remove about 4 washers
from the passenger side and add them to the driver side
mount, and this centered the prop shaft perfectly.

I also placed the seat in, and sat and tried the location of
the shifter. Seems perfect. Sat in the seat dreaming of the
day she will roll

On the advice of the body shop, I am going to finish welding in
the new floor, then have the car dipped. I am mocking up the
floor using cardboard. More to come...
