Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Wel, I tried to drop the crossmember a little lower, but it just ended with cock-eyed welds and tubing.

So, after examining it again, I'm just going to sacarfice backseat footwell area, and tunnel over the trailing arms a bit more, instead of dropping the crossmember.

I think it'll allow the trailing arms to hook more with the car, instead of being underneath the subframe connectors. Plus, it'll be easier. Haha.

No pics though. It's nothing to see...trust me...


Soon though, the shop will be done, and I can roll her into a nice brightly lit heated work area for the winter. And then things should really get cranking...I hope.
