Such ideas of course result in horrible function . . . We've all got to learn somehow.

The car should soon work as good as it looks!

That's what he said when I told him there was a T-56 in it. He asked me if the tunnel was stock, I said yes I think so and he said "than it isn't right". LOL

He ended up cutting the tunnel and the full factory crossmember section out. It was hacked into anyways.

With the tunnel removed he then got to work on the cross member. Original part was from Speedtech and he shortened it.
