Making some progress lately it has been a 3 steps forward and only 1 step back so the majiority of progress has been forward. still a long ways to go. learning solid works has been a whole new experience for me I just hope I can get more efficient at it!
tranny crossmember almost done!
now on to the turbo piping and the rest of the exhaust!

making slow progress but still progress none the less. hoping to get the rest of the exhaust system done in the next week and take off the plywood off and start working on the rest of the frame .
It is the hardest thing to attempt to get things looking symmetrical as possible when everything is everything is Not even close to being symmetrical. it only took 3 times on each side to finally be content with it. still have alot of welding left to go.
looks like everything up to the motor is all welded up but not done welding the turbo pipes yet.

Frame is looking good Eric. Are the braces for the frame enclosed? Looks like you put triangular plates in between the bracing. Nice touch......

yep. I added the triangle tubes and then decided after looking at the bottom of the c5 vette that I parted out for Chevelle money I likes the way the bottom of the car was flat to smooth the air on the bottom of the car so I thought why not. lots more to come on this.
