Big day for us.

We fabbed the removable transmission cross-member. this single piece really had us scratching our heads as it has so many obstacles to address. It had to be less then an inch thick where it spanned the exhaust. It had to give clearance to speedo cable. Also it had to be strong enough to handle a built 454's violence.

Greg got serious about cutting out and replacing the steel on the frame sides
