That oil fill cap is pretty slick. Will you keep it body color?

Engine, transmission and rear end are in. Setting drive line angles measuring for the driveshaft, fabricating the tunnel to the Tremec., but first we looked for a trans cross member. We looked for something strong but would allow enough room for a 3 inch exhaust to tuck nicely under the floor. The bottom cross member came from Bowler, the middle Chris Alston and not sure where the top one came from.

After test fitting the transmission cross-members we decided to go a different direction and Kennedy fabricated a cross-member that's welded to the floor and rockers. In a discussion with Sled Alley it was suggested to use a rubber transmission mount to avoid vibration issues.

It's just an ididit steering column firewall mount. It's been a while but it may be Borgeson product, they make good stuff!
Since then we returned the Ididit column and went with a GM tilt steering column.
