Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Did I mention more fitment issues?

I didn't notice before, but my midpipe is rubbing on the transmission crossmember.

Now that I added more spacers to the transmission, it's even worse.

As beautiful as the stifflers mount is, I'll be hacking that up as well. It'll give me the opportunity to add an integrated driveshaft safety loop to it while I'm at it.

Fuck.
 
When are you moving again? I'd like to catch up for breakfast before then, as we'll probably never meet again.

I'm supposed to leave November 1st, but seems I won't be taking the car, so I'll be back sometime next year to figure it out
 
Some of us have jobs and can’t make it here everyday. Has the oral leak been found and fixed?

as smart/talented as you are, what is your reluctance to alter the trans tunnel? I think you're quite capable of keeping a stock "appearing" look...which BTW don't become a slave to. This is your creation.

I'm taking time out of my busy day to re answer this question with more honesty..

I didn't want to do this cutting panel out thing because:

With every atom of my being.. I loathe, beyond words, welding these piece of fuck, thin, cock sucking, worthless shit damn pieces of metal together. It's the reason my heart will give out someday.

Hopefully you're just tacking it and using seam sealer, fuck welding it entierly,

No because I'm an ignorant prick and I do this with every panel. I spend too much time dicking with completely welding it instead of using sealer.

I have 3 tubes of the shit and I still don't use it

This is why I am lowering the Impala, so nobody can get under there and look.
It's a combo of welds, pop rivets and sealer, but hey at least I can say "I didn't do it" :LOL:

Use the sealer... car ain't going to Pebble Beach...
 
So instead of cutting and rewelding the transmission crossmember, I jacked the trans up, removed the spacers from the mount, attached the crossmember to the trans, and I noticed I could just drill new holes in the factory Chassis mount. So that's what I did.

Appears I'll have clearance, but we'll see
