I am viewing it like wine....................I'm aging the process. If it's not ready my Power Tour next year, I'm sure I'll be looking for a divorce attorney. She will go with someone else [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Called Trans Dapt/ Hedman Headers and told them about their holes being off....the plates were Laser cut and the holes were off.....Come on guy's, this isn't Rocket Science......Got out the Carbide Burr and elongated the holes ..........Damm!!!

1/2 hour later.....

I had used the Trans Crapt plates as well and had the same results with my 59. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

got a small jack on the back of the trans.....I was worried about the size of the 4L65E and it fitting in the tunnel....lots of room......I just need to modify the crossmember slightly for the trans mount........Gonna get it mounted and take it apart, going for Media blasting on the 23rd and then off to the body shop........
