Great to see the car finally close to done!!

Cut a lot out of it. First the crossmember was touching the floor. Only bairly. I had to cut the top down. In order to get to the 3 degree angle i had to cut underneath it exhaust cut outs. The headers were in more than the arches so i had to remove even more metal and offset the crossmember to the right side of the engine. Total PITA.

I still need to learn it up and paint it.

well this sucks to see, I ordered this crossmember as well for my swap.I was looking back through your thread and I saw you had a hurst driveline crossmember then you said you got the speedtech cross member, did you have issues with those as well?

[MCB Matt]

We sell quite a few Speedtech's and BMR's. Issues with those have been minor to none.

Of course in this hobby there area lot of off-the-shelf parts that need to be tweaked to suit your needs, but you have to pretty much reinvent the wheel with that one!

See i want my exhaust close to the floor and to get my driveline angle at 3 degrees. This wouldn't be so bad if i wanted my exhaust to hang little but i don't and my car is slammed. Not to mention the slip on connectors with my stainless works headers didn't fit well either. the bungs location would hit the crossmember

I also purchased this dipstick handle cover. I love it love it love it. Simple for $25 and covers that ugly yellow handle

There will get wrapped in leather

Looking great. Post up a pic of the seats once you get them wrapped! Are you going to do any color matched stitching on them? You have that opportunity to make them exactly how you want!

Great work

Matt
