I've got the transmission crossmember designed and about half done with the fabrication. Expect to finish that up next weekend. I wasn't able to get anywhere near 1 degree of down angle on the trans. 3 is about the lowest I could go without putting the driveshaft in the middle of the cabin.

After finishing up the transmission crossmember, I need to do the inboard relocation boxes and I can put the rear suspension in and make it a roller. The goal is to have it rolling by end of the summer so I can take it and get all the sheet metal professionally done. By the time Glamis season is over, they should be done w/ the sheet metal and I can start building for real.
Looks great. I should've took more pics when I was building my trans mount but so far it looks like the same process.
I've got a few miles on mine and a few hard launches. So far everything is still in one piece.
