Default Crossmember bracket fixed

Got the bracket welded on and painted. It looks a little
better now. I also found some critters used to live in
my frame. I repainted half shafts and driveshaft to match
the rear color. I like it much better all the same color. I
am just waiting on my U joints from Duntov Corvette I
ordered them on the 28th I thought they would have been
here by now. I tried to call them and got an answering
machine. I hate that for a place of business, answer the
darn phone.

You know I didn't even think of it that way.
But you are right that could have been a problem.

Shemp,
I discovered that my sombrero bracket was all messed up as well when I did my body-off. Probably a quick repair by the previous owner after too many trips to the drag strip!!! Let me know if I can help!!!
