Re: My 72 Build

Well, I sorta screwed up...

I boxed my frame with the frame stiffeners and then also added some 1/4" plate I had laying around to make sure it was rigid.

fast forward a few months when I finally got around to installing my motor and trans, and realized that my "boxing" would interfere with my transmission crossmember. So...I had to re-engineer my Dirty Dingo Trans mount by having a local fab shop bend up some 1/4" L brackets, cutting off the ends of the original crossmember, and then welding it back up. Drilled a few more hole and I think it'll work.

Always something it seems.
