So I decided to flat belly my rig
Here are some pics

Cutting out the floor bored

After trying and trying to lift the tranny with two jacks all by my self I got tired of almost dropping it and hurting myself I went to my local Harbor Freight and pick up a tranny jack for $65 which made my life a lot easier.

Ones the tranny & cases where lifted I had to do a Lil more trimming to the floor bored to get the  cleanse that I wanted at the bottom also had to cut off part of the hoere shoe and rebuilt it where was no way in hell the drive shaft going to fit.




After I was done with that lifted the cases with a engine hoist and removed the tranny jack to be able to work underneath what I ended up doing was cutting my TG cross member in to five pieces bolted the two brackets to the frame and the mean one the the cases and fitted the other two pieces to make it as flat as possible mark where I need to cut to achieve a flat surface retested and tacked in to place then removed it and fully welded it together and reinstalled.






Before & After


Now i need to relocate my exhaust and finish the tunnel going to try to get that done this weekend
