Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"

Sorry for the lag. I set the cross member up in the frame and set the trans on it and it fits pretty good without the spacer provided. I have not yet cut the holes in the frame as I was just so happy it fit. The trans is a little high and hits the tub tunnel towards the rear and right where the cover will be. I have seen where some have just cut this area but I am looking at possible shifter options because I really want the old Hurst Feel of a quarter stick but my current shifter is B-M and is solid with no way of bolting on my old stick. I thought I posted pics here but will get some soon. I also have been working on installing the Trans Am stock master cylinder and think I have come up with a solution and have it pumping dry right now but with a custom shaft to the cylinder I think it will be just fine. What a mutha to figure out the angles though. Nice part is that if it goes haywire down the road I can just go to the parts store and boom I'm back on the road. No special order Wilwood stuff. I just got a new job and I am deemed "Essential" so small back burner for this but I will snap some pics in the next couple days.
