what did you do to make it fit....
Drop the motor ?
Well Chris.... I'll post a pic after I put the finishing touches on the hood.
I removed a small amount of the X , didn't need to drop motor. After I finish it off it'll look good.
It was my only choice.....
It bugs me when something doesn't work. A friend and I finally got my parking brake flasher to be functional. Over the last couple of months I've been messing with this, the flashers I purchased clicked but the light wouldn't light. We opened up the flasher and tweaked the contact, and, damn if it doesn't work. Cool stuff....
Very nice. Love it. Just to revisit one thing. The pinion angle and the transmission center line should be within one degree I.e. if the tranny is pointing down 2* the pinion should be pointing up 2*. The speed of the u joint varies twice in each revolution of the drive shaft with the u joints in phase they cancel this out. If they aren't phased you can get a vibration. In my case it beat the bushing out of the tail housing. I mounted the engine and tranny in the chassis before the body and all looked good. I never thought to check this afterwards.

Thanks. I did the same, I lowered/shimmed the trans mount after I lowered the body.
