33 Coupe Chassis 20        5/27/03

Here is the new cross member that I made. I used the two rear holes in the chassis so I only had to drill two new holes next to the others. This is made out of 1/2" mild steel and cut at the same angle as the X member in the chassis. 
 

 

 

I put some nice large chamfers on it so it would look nice when people look under the car. I mean, doesn't everyone look under cars?? Oh well....someone might. 
 

 

 

The top cross member is the old one and you can see it's a little larger than the other. I didn't have a rubber trans mount to bolt to the transmission while doing the mock-up so that's why there's not slots in the new one. I ordered one and it should be here this week and then I can put it back in the car one more time and mark the right spot on the new cross member and then add the slots. This way I get it right the first time....at least that's the plan.
