Post Started my 95 Build
Ran into a little trouble with a rear rocker box bolt. The front bolt on the left side is hitting the frame. Not threaded into the base but is tight againsit the frame. Can't get the rocker cover off. Did get the front all tore down will work on the rear tommorow.

The bottom of the crank case hangs slightly below the frame.
You have the motor raised with that jack.
Lower the jack.

Let the jack down and still wouldn't come out. Took the front motor mount loose and let engine come down to get it out.

That's what I like to see.
CARNAGE!

Never had a bolt on a Twinkie not come out.
Oh well...least it's out now.
If you have access to a "Motor Alignment Tool" you should check it when you reassemble...just for good measure.

Keep the pics coming!
