Making the GTO Spares fit (11-23-2019 )

Trying to catch this thread up and lets see how far I can get tonight.

Since the car needs to be a roller and my really nice Billet Specialties wheels don't really need to be on the car and would be much safer in the warehouse. I need to make the GTO spare's work on the rear axle.

Since they didn't need to have much removed I decided to sand off the material.



and just like that (2 hours later) they fit.

Cont. ( Plan B or C at this point. )

Apparently when I asked everyone is a 4l60e trans case the same size as a 700R4 they were all wrong. As the trans need to go back at least 1.5" and guess what it is a little bit wider and really freaking close to my freshly painted trans tunnel.

Insert sad face here. :-(

So for now I am going rest the trans on my lift jack (that was a bitch to do by myself) and install the motor so I can get and idea of how far off it is.

Trans is shoved all the way back just to make it easier.



Here we go again.





Now I have to figure out how to get these together by myself while under the car.



Time to get creative.



If you have time please look up "spelunking" and that is what I had to do to get under the car which was on the lift. So starting at the back of the car I layed on the lift and slid under the rear quarter, then under the rear differential. The under the platform jack on the lift, in between the bottle jack on the stack of 2 x 12's and finally in between the engine hoist legs to muscle up the back of the motor to line up a couple bolts to mate the trans to the motor.

Once that was complete I honestly stayed there for a couple minutes to rest or was that I had no idea how I was going to get out. Not sure really but getting out was way harder then getting in.



I took this picture as I was shimming back out feet first up on the deck of my lift that was at least 12" off the ground.





Good news is the engine and trans are back in and I will have to make some new holes in the trans crossmember and off course have it powder coated again.

Another while I am here moment. (12-05-19)

Might as well take some more parts to Pro-Tek Powder Coating.





I am going to give the pedals to Adam at Gonzo Details to clean them up and coat them.




Sending these parts also.



Days later the parts are back. (12-14-20)





Looking back at my notes so I can pull out the correct hardware.
