I got tired of scratching my head over the front suspension and decided to move on and make a little progress, I removed to upper coil over mounts sense I'm going to use a strut type suspension, I went ahead and soldered it in place, I was getting tired of trying to align everything as I was mocking up other parts....

bent up some bars for the transmission cross member and mount and went ahead and soldered them in place all sod

I all so got the cross member made and soldered in place

I still need to make motor mounts and the trans. mount, thanks for looking!

I kept on working on it after my last little update, so I figured I would update it a little again, here is the cross member soldered in place, I will add some bolt detail to it later on

I all so got the rear cross member completed with the drive shaft loop installed and  ready to solder into place, as well as narrowed the frame rails down to except the floor pan, this needed to be done to keep the floor level with the rockers

after soldering the rear cross member into its final place I will start on the rear frame rails, thanks for looking
