    Here's my latest. I made the tranny crossmember so it unbolts and drops down. I made the mounts too, because I didn't like the way the factory mounts sat. I made it flush with the bottom of the frame, and once I section the oil pan a little bit, nothing should hang below the frame at all.

    I also cut the subframe and sat the body on the frame. They are baby steps, but it feels nice to have something that is starting to look like a real car.

    About 14 million other things, and I should be done!

    Chopped. The proportions look a little too cartoony to me right now.

    I like it ..................but i realy like the fact that you are runing spoked wheels, i hardly see anyone with them around here. You might want to check and see if there is a limit on how much you can chop your sedan, there is a law here that you have to have a 9" windshild( i think i spelled that wrong sorry).

    Looks good, baby steps better than no steps. I agree about a chop, but I chop everything.

    Very Nice!

    Although...make sure you have that car supported well - I see it is up on some bricks - they are probably not the most stable thing to have it on -

    We don't want to see a post from one of your friends saying you are in ICU cause your car fell on you :eek:

    keep up the good work

    And Chop it

    The bricks were just to hold the wheels up to where they will be when it's on the ground. I have the frame on jackstands.

    thats sick man. Keep us posted bro. I will be starting my T Sedan project soon. I think the chop needs to be proportional. Im going to channel mine and keep it low, then chop it about 4-6 inches. Keep it proportional.
