Chevrolet has sent us a bunch of Solidworks Drawings lately, Suspension, LS7, Torque tube, and rear diff. It is going to get interesting really soon.

Thanks

I built that lower crossmember(C5) for one of my projects and ran into a couple of problems that I could not use the cross member 1. I couldn't get the engine low enough in the chassis to clear the hood. 2.the engine was moved so far back that the balancer would hit on the front of the cross member and the engine location would upset the balance of the car.

This pic is no where near the final design. Just a brain storming session. I have some idea for the firewall and cradle we will incorporate here soon. Just thought I would show you what we have going on.

We took some Inspiration from The war project and make some recess pockets into the trans tunnel. The front and rear crossmembers have been tack and landed and the plates have been fit to the main tubes. Plus in the back of the dark pictures you will see the start of the tubes for the Airjack.

You will also see the modified rear transaxle mounts.

Eric --

I've been trying to talk the wife into letting me move to Bakersfield... so I can sweep the floor and go'fer parts etc (for FREE) for a year or so... just so I could hang out with you guys!!

LOL

Since I want to upgrade my current trailer to that 44' ATC gooseneck with the 14' living quarters... marble floors and granite counters - Plasma screen tv and A/C "anyway".... so my living costs (after I pizz away 90K for the upgrade) would be "food" it wouldn't hardly cost her a thing. After all... you have to eat no matter where you are... and I wouldn't have any travel expenses with living right there out back! :unibrow: :woot:
