Re: Starting a new build...
Progressive Automotive makes a Vette cross member that installs like the Art Morison cross member and doesn't require such a big notch in the frame for the rack. They use a different rack where as Flatout uses the Vette rack. Using a Vette rack requires a larger notch in the frame because the rack is positioned higher up on the cross member.
The Art Morison and Progressive cross members may require less frame work to install but the Flatout cross member comes completely welded up, square etc but requires a bit more frame work to install. 6 of one half a dozen of the other I guess.
It's just my opinion but all three would be great choices but you'd be money ahead using Vette parts. Part of your decision will be how much work do you want to put into installing either parts. Morison will be weld in cross member and install new parts. Vette parts will require cleaning and possibly installing new bearings, tie rods ends etc.
