I had to make some Tango Mods on my Shift Lever that goes on the Trans . The Stock Rod was much Smaller then the Stock Lever Hole ? I was going to used a Small pipe over the rod . But instead I weld two pieces off another Lever that was the Right Size but had the wrong angle .

Next was to Make my Stock Crossmember into a Dual Exhaust Crossmember . Them Catalog house's want up to $200.00 for one no This is how we made them before they made them . Notch out were the Pipe will Run and Weld a Plate were you had to Notch it out . I will wire Brush it and Paint it then I will install it .

Here is one of the part's that I ordered from JEG'S . H.D Trans Mount $21.99 . These work well and will fit every GM Trans I ever have tried them on . The Stock Rubber type will not Live Long with much more Power then 350 Horse .

WOW! I haven't stopped by in a while. Lots of great work has been done, Congrats!!!

I used inline tube for all the brake lines on my son's car. But I ordered prebent stainless, really don't want to do them again. After seeing his, I'm thinking of ordering them for mine too. I have made plenty of brake lines in the past, But really don't want to on my own car.

He sent them to me to help out smile My Budget is a bit Tight my Wife had to go out to California with the passing of her Brother and my Girl starts College that was some Ca$h .
