I was able to spend some time on the crossmember. I cut out the section for the exhaust. Then welded in 1/8th inch steel. I also welded one more piece to the top section for a little more strength. After welding ,I went to test fit the crossmember. And found that I had to reshape the left side of the crossmember as it had distorted from the previous welding. I also added some weld to the tranny perch. I welded up the single bolt hole for the tranny mount, then drilled it for the two bolt mount. Now the crossmember is ready to be painted.
