The pinch weld can be folded to make the transmission more serviceable but it's not needed.

Well I got some welding on the frame done I need some more metal then I'll be good on that part.

I got a piece of steel and welded it in place and grinded it down.



I got the plate for the a/c notch welded up now to weld it into the frame but I'm going to do a test fit with the engine and trans

Default checking the angle

I checked the drivetrain angle and im gonna have to figure out something the angle doesnt match the pinion angle. There is about a 5 degree difference between the 2 which could make for some vibrations at certain speeds.



I may cut and reweld the spring perches on the rear end to get the angle correct.
