The build is coming along nicely. Maybe I’ll start to do a build thread on here as well. What transmission crossmember did you use?

I built my own crossmember, the 200-4R has the mount farther back, and I had to mount the torque arm to it. So I welded up what I needed. Ive been building a lot of things myself on this, hope it all works.

I wanted to do something different, so instead of the old floppy heater hoses, I made mine out of metal tubing. And installed an shut off galve so in the summer I can stop hot water from adding heat to the interior.

Sure wish someone knew how to take these side trim down so I could get the headliner out. I dont want to break them but I want to put some sound deadener above my head liner.

I guess we cant post video, I installed remote door locks. Bought the kit from ebay, $33, somewhere around that. Easy to install, work great. Has wires with diodes you hook to the front turn signals and all 4 signals flash when you use it. Has a wire to run to an electric trunk lock, (Im looking for one of those from a 70's GM car) so you can pop the hatch.

How were you able to post your photos on here? Did you have to upload the photos through your computer?
