Spent way to much time blowing holes(with the MIG) in the cross member, but its done. Not nearly as nice as I was hoping for but will add room for a 3" pipe.
Engine is in for the 4th time. So far so good. paint was still wet on the cross member last night so I called it a night. Today I'm not feeling it.
So it can wait.
Really happy with my "new" exhaust clearance that the modded control arm mount gave me.
Next hurdle (beside seeing if I warped the cross member) room for shift linkage.
Looks like it may be a go. Wish me luck.
