yeah ive been thinking about that, as of now the angle is way too steep. Im not quite sure how to remedy it since i dont have a ton of room in the tranny tunnel to bring it up, and the only other option is to bring the engine down which would constitute cutting and altering the frame mounts to be lower.

ok fixed it, got the rear of the trans up just enough to get the 3-4 degree downward drivetrain angle. Also got the cross member all figured out too.

Sounds like fun, I hear you about the local shows, they tend to get old after a while. I would like to check out your Nova too!
