really sucks cutting up brand new expensive parts

   i did know it was a proto type but it was still expensive so he will be getting feed back

[moparstuart]

tranny and bellhousing , and now crossmember had to go in and out several more times today to mark them and slowly cut and make room for everything

   we needed to make sure the was space all around to for torq and flexing and movement also

   
  look at that crack staff member working away , he should be on chop , cut , rebuild   

 

[moparstuart]

Looks good Stu   Just wandering, why did you use a plasma cutter( or torch) to cut out the center hump instead of a cut off wheel?  It might not have been the fastest way to do it, but it would have been cleaner and saved some more work later on.

We had a plasma cutter and a welder , so thats what we used .  Time has been the factor as we are trying to get most of it done during out time off from regular work .
Plus scotts ,wifes nice warm parking spot is where the bird is sitting .  You gotta keep momma happy .  She has been a saint letting us go it .

So, he's helping with just installing the trans then, and afterwards you'll take it home and clean it up.  Makes sense.  How much more do you have to do?
