Up until this blog post I have been writing about what I have been doing on my Chevelle build in the past couple of years, getting the reader up to date. I am now going to be posting on current work as I am doing it.
This month I was finally able to get the frame ready for the final welding work that needs to be completed. I finished installing the front and rear suspension. I put the wheels on to get it sitting at ride height, which also made it easier to move the frame around.
Once again I asked my brother in law to do some more welding on the frame.
Here is the crossmember clamped in place with the engine/transmission that I set at 2.5 degrees pointing down. This was to match the rear end that I measured to be pointing 2.5 degrees up. I really hope I have this right so I don't run into driveshaft and ujoint issues down the road.
Welding the crossmember brackets into place
Here is the crossmember finished and in place
While he was already welding the crossmember in place, I had him weld on the frame bracket for the clutch linkage z-bar. For this we installed the z-bar into place and lined it up where it looked and fit the best. Unfortunately I don't have my exhaust manifolds yet to test for clearance issues. Hopefully I don't run into problems here down the road.
