yeah ive been thinking about that, as of now the angle is way too steep. Im not quite sure how to remedy it since i dont have a ton of room in the tranny tunnel to bring it up, and the only other option is to bring the engine down which would constitute cutting and altering the frame mounts to be lower.

ok fixed it, got the rear of the trans up just enough to get the 3-4 degree downward drivetrain angle. Also got the cross member all figured out too.

When you guys do take her out would like to to catch up..Some of these westside carshows are turning out to be the same ole same ole...Would like to meet up with some of you guys that have some creative thinking...

good work!

Sounds like fun, I hear you about the local shows, they tend to get old after a while. I would like to check out your Nova too!

Well I finally finished altering the transmission cross member and pulled the engine and transmission out again today. Next some finish welding to the mounts, firewall plate and then bodywork and paint on the firewall. Ill post up some update pics soon.

Got the welding done on the motor mounts and firewall plate. Now to the fun part, bodywork....
