Looking good guys!

How many PBR's did you go through yesterday?   The peddles look crooked, so it must have been more than one.

Is today the hack job?

[moparstuart]

 

 then we ran into a little snag figures out we were missing one alignment dow pin in the back block , that would make it so much easier for mock up

 also we were missing a fitting to adapt the viper throw out bearing to the braided line that gots to the master cylinder
 
 I though it was included in one of the kits i bought but it wasnt ,   So i went on a wild goose chase looking for this stuff .  In the end we got it ordered from summit on and overnight
saturday delivery . hope to have that stuff sometime this morning .

test fitting the new crossmember before hand to make sure bolt line up

   it was dead on perfect , this is one of the very first one made for viper tranny into a b body only


  yes it fit perfect but you will see later we ran into a snag with it

[moparstuart]

let the cutting begin

[moparstuart]

only the first cut it gets much bigger   

[moparstuart]

that last two are when i took a BFH and bent over the lip in the upper tranny tunnel where it meets the fire wall ,   scott had cut slots every inch or so and I then bent them over and smashed them flat for tranny clearence

  now its just a matter of fine tuning the hole

 cut , snip , then test fit again we had the tranny in and out of the car 5 times yesterday to try and get the hole right with out cutting to much floor and crossmember out

[moparstuart]

 

[moparstuart]

there is where our snag with the cross member was
  we could barely same the hole on the driver side for the first inner cross member bolt  but the passenger side we lost that bolt as the viper tranny was too big

  so we will have to do more modifiying to it , it will all work out
