Transition Camaro

Added the notch on the bottom side of the top center.

Filled in the inside open ends with some 1/8" plate. Should be ready for permanent installation.

At this pace you'll be done in no time. Cross member & frame connector look good

Thanks Frankv11. What do you think of the notch? Does it look like it will work? I'm going off of pictures and posted measurements as I don't have a T56 yet. I notched it 1".

I cleaned up the toe kick structure and torque box before the floor went in for the final time.

Final crossmember install. I used blocking under the car to make sure the seat pans and crossmember were level before tacking

Nice work! Just wondering did you raise the trans tunnel for the T56? I know you don't have to but it can get tight in there and all the other work that you did it would be easier to do now then later?

Also nice job on the cross member, for the 750 that DSE gets for theirs, you have what $60 in materials, and your labor? Nice job!

Hey Rick. I haven't raised the tunnel yet but plan on it. I'm a little paranoid about losing the shape of the car so I tend to create more work for myself than probably need to. Since things all went back in place where they should its coming. I have the sheet metal but need to figure out how to bend it with a nice radius.

I'm very impressed with the quality, design, and fit of the DSE parts I purchased but I don't have the budget to buy them all. I had to go with the $60 option on this one.

It looks great, if you didn't tell anyone it wasn't DSE they could never tell the difference. Nice work !

WOW, just went through the thread. Great pics and progress! You're doing some amazing fab work, can't wait to see this continue to come together. Plus, it's always nice to see a fellow Washingtonian
