Well, the car is at the frame shop, getting it's butt shored up!!! Here's are shots of the car loaded and ready for transport! Car looks fast and sexy still!!! It was fun watching the Corvette drivers do the neck-whiplash moves to see "what was on the trailer!?" while in transit!

 

 

Had to brace up the frame so that it didn't "bounce" on the brace and bust something else!!! You can see a different view of my temporary brace!
 

The chassis expert immediately recognized that my rear mounts had also been raised slightly, as the welding "looked like MIG". Comparing shots of his Goose, I could see what he meant!

Now, I'm having the extensions removed on my frame mounts but that doesn't mean that I won't want to raise it back up a tad if I have the room!!! So, I intend on leaving the rear bolt holes where they are, above the tops of the frame rails. If you go way back in this post and look at some of the reinforced mounts for the ladder bar and top shock, you will see where these same bolt holes are in about the same position as mine are now. The earlier versions have these holes below the tops of the chassis rails..... Raised the trans bellhousing close to an inch! Any more clearance on a bellhousing to tarmack is a good thing in my mind!!! Hope to go retrieve the car this weekend!

Ciao!
Steve
