Transmission crossmember in. It wasn't too hard to decide on how to mount the Corvette transmission. There are two bolt holes going straight down so I put some grade 8 bolts in. Cab is already back on ready to line up the fenders and start working on core support. Oh and my Hobart 220v totally kicks a$#. Took about 10 minutes to setup and its burning some really nice weld beads. There's no comparison to the 110v Lincoln in terms of weld quality.
