Its a PPG gear set in a T56 magnum case.

Yes, cut it up and make it what you want, more importantly make it fun and safe to drive. I've had Mopars most of my adult life, and if I hear, "it's 1 of blah, blah, blah" one more time, I'm gonna puke coat hangers. They were all 1 of something, and they don't all need to be restored!

Time to put the cross member in. It is designed to go directly below the main hoop and tie into the rocker and rocker boxes.




It will attach to the forward part of the floor and tie into the existing sub frame connectors.

You know I'm so visual ... sometimes I don't get it until I see it.

Now I see what you mean about the frame being quite a ways below the rocker. I agree with your plan to trim the outer edges up towards the rocker surface, after the lower link brackets are installed.

It actually matches the front. This is how they are stock. Crap hangs 2" below the rocker from the factory. It actually works out well. The belly pan mounts right to this and clears the drivetrain.

Nothing like the wheel manufacture sending you pics as your wheels progress through machining operations (okay, I did bug him for one, haven't seen them except in CAD). Rears, 18X13 Mono Blocks. Will be flat black once completed.

I'll post up some progress shots on car this weekend.

Okay, blocked the next three days to get the back in. Making absolutely sure crossmember is level and square to the car. If its off, everything else gets thrown off.




The upper seat bar will tie into the top of the loop, making a nice strong crossmember.



I have the cage extended down through the floor and had welded a cap with nut in the bottom of the tube. This is to let me screw on extensions to jack/lift the car. Since the crossmember is directly under this, I welded another extension down that will be flush with the new crossmember.





Normally just tack everything up and finish weld once everything is in. With this being the "control" piece and it's placement cannot move, I'll fully weld it and then weld it in.



No matter what you do, it's going to pull. Quick trip on the press and it back straight.
