thanks for the interest in my projects and i 100% agree recycled is the way to go on so many levels you just have to be looking all the time Not just when you need it. stock pile the material until you get enough rounded up to complete the project. i think i have been side tracked enough in the last couple years now it is time to get back on the Chevelle again!

I could attempt to explain this but this would be better here is a link to a great metal shaper showing how this works. i hope this helps.

got a little more done on the trans mission mount and the driveshaft hoop. so far there is over 40 individual parts and pieces to make this on part up!

made a little more progress on the frame. got slammed by the flu bug and it kicked my azz so bad i am just trying to get back on track again. i wish i would have decided to go this low with it in the first place. but i did not want to cut up the perfect original floor and trunk so i made it fit and now that plan is out the window and i am just going to make everything fit the new frame a chassis mods. don't follow me i have no idea what i am doing!lol. i am just making this up as i go.

Very cool build. I just read the whole thing and I'm really impressed with your ingenuity. I'm really excited to keep watching this project come together!
