    Thank You! The added metal you see at the end of the tunnel was added for the GearVendor under/overdrive unit.

    I've decided that Im not going to reinstall my motor/trans again with my torque arm mount the way it is. Cutting, drilling, notching, grinding 3/16 steel with hand tools on the driveway takes more time than I remember. Next up... welding.

    Had a smart arse in a Vette aggravating me yesterday on my way back from the beach in the Grabber, dude was getting on my bumper and my nerves, so a couple of red lights later I saw to it we were side by side at the next light, he pulled up beside looking at me, I looked at him, pointed at him lol, and when the light changed, left him sitting at it! now don't jump me for racing....he started it! I just finished it :biglaugh:
    I was in the mood for Monkey business anyhow.......

    went out to the cold garage and stared at my new parts (thanks again John B ) until I couldn't feel my fingers anymore.

    Ok I guess I could jack the car up and take a picture of the Gear/vendor bolted to trans where it hit the tunnel. Let me guess your gear/vendor cleared the tunnel. DONT TELL ME THAT :cry: I will post pic l8r.

    ripped my cowl apart, cut out the rust where the fresh air intakes used to be. And welded in the mustang cowl repair part into the passenger side. I hope to get the driver's side in tomorrow or the next day.
