That is the idea. there may be a few places that need to be trimmed. The tunnel will need to be removed but we will have a kit to replace it as well.

Yet another cool project. Glad to see some Pontiac A bodies get the love.

Do you have the tunnel kit on your site, or pics you can post here? I have been wondering what I am going to do for a tunnel.

Out with the old. You can see what a factory frame minus springs looks like. That's not far off from the ride height potential the ExtReme frame has.

To prepare to swallow 345s out back a mintub was in order. Also note the contoured rear sheet metal removed and the insert that we provide to better conform to the shape of the new frame rails and suspension.

First mock ups of prototype frame...

Ask and ye will receive... Because this chassis has such a low ride height we have created and added to our production lineup a high clearance complete trans tunnel insert. It comes in three main pieces that are easily fitted and welded into the floor.
