200R4 update

I went to Discount Steel and bought 8' of 2 1/2" angle iron in 1/4" thickness. Tom spent a good part of the day making the cross member and here it is. We still need to cut down the piece in the middle just a bit where the motor mount goes. And it needs clean up and paint. We ran out of time to notch and cut the pinch weld to accommodate the dipstick tube. Once we do that, and we find everything is at the proper height, we will pull the motor and start cutting for the floor shifter. Oh, the tranny cooler lines are bent and run, but I forgot to take pics. The fan, ARP valve cover studs, and subframe connectors all arrived as well.
