Re: 47 Chevy Fleetline
exhaust manifolds are on. looks like i might have plenty of room.
think it might need to go back a couple inches or so.

Re: 47 Chevy Fleetline
I need to invest in some tools. Riggs car kicked my butt today. all I wanted to do is cut a notch out of two 1/4" pieces of steel. we used a drill, jigsaw, hand grinder, a hammer and a air die grinder to make a rough cut. nothing worked good. jigsaw burned it's blade up in one pass. my hand grinder is screwed up and only works for 2 or 3 minutes at a time. the cooling fan broke off and now it over heats. Riggs hand grinder is missing the adapter to use my kind of cut off disk. we managed to get two pieces rough cut and then took them to Riggs bench top grinder to smoth out the work. the motor is bad on it. as soon as you touch it, it stops. man!!! I stopped for the day and Riggs is out looking at tools now. lol I haven't had this much trouble with something like this in years. something simple turned into a side show. :!:

Either that or just use some duct tape, then you won't need any stinking stitches!RebStew wrote:I could have stitched ya up.

Re: 47 Chevy Fleetline
we were in the garage last night, tried to get the mounts mounted. but the tranny is hitting the orginial crossmember so i need to trim some more of it off. i plan on jacking the car up and putting jack stands under it, then pull the rear end. while im under that ill trim up the rest of the org. tranny crossmember.

I'm affraid to talk to him evrytime I see that guy he has nothing to say to me.... He is the most uppity guy I have ever met, always with his nose in the air, I tried like hell one time to get him to take a picture of my car and my brothers bike and he just scoffed at me and walked away.....Maybe someday I will find out why he is such a snob..... ..Just teasing new guys, JOHN IS THE MAN! He already sent me a p.m. on the rear...herb73 wrote:john b has a torque tube rearend that you may be able to talk him out of
