Re: Pats 68

On Saturday i was able to start making my transmission crossmember.I have the corvette style tail shaft on the 700r4 so i had to make this one.I didn't have to buy any metal though.I had a piece of heavy wall 2x3 box tubing laying around and i used a piece that was cut out of my frame as "L" brackets.



These brackets get bolted to the 2x3 tubing and then welded to the frame.I want it to be removable in case i just need to take out the transmission.


I haven't welded the corssmember brackets to the frame yet.I need to bolt in the drive shafts then locate the trans at the right angle first.I will hopefully get that stuff done this week.Then all the metal fabrication will be done(except for the body work.Ill start that after its running)
