end of day three   

   and not much left of the expensive new crossmember

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?

drive shaft is a custom built  3 1/2 inch  aluminum one and once everythink is installed we have to send off measurements to have it built

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.

It's a total hack job 

Yah a body saw would have been nice, Stuart should have bought me one for Xmass  :smilielol:It would have looked better. 

A few minuets with a grinder and it will look ok  this isn't chop cut rebuild its hack swear and pray it works

i will most likely use one of these shifter arms

i would like to use the console style 70 shifter but if i do i will have to cut it right on the big off set bend and then
drill two holes to mount it to the new shift tower

I will order carbon fiber black grips and a six speed indicator shift pattern

[moparstuart]

 

[moparstuart]

  the mount is to short , we will have to shim it to get the motor high enought to get the pan up off the drag link

[Hemidog]

I bet you're looking forward to shifting through those gears!
