Transmission crossmember fabrication on a budget

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Fabricating a custom transmission crossmember using scrap metal. This was the next step in the mockup of a Chevy 350 in my '78 Chevy LUV mini truck project. It also means more custom sheet metal fabrication can be done, as well as figuring out what can be done for a radiator and fan. All done with materials I had laying around, saving money for more truck parts!
