Big step Friday. The body was set on the frame to mock up the tunnel to clear the Tremec.

It was nice to finally see the quarters in primer. They're getting pretty straight.

We cut a big hole. This hole is about an inch smaller all around than the Classic Motorsports Group tunnel patch that came with the Tremec kit.

The tunnel patch is in. The outline around the shifter shows the size of the hole we cut for shifter access in the new tunnel. I can pull the whole shifter out of the top if needed.

We modified a repop shifter porch to extend down to the floor. I think the tunnel is maybe 1 1/2 inches taller now. I'll be using a console, so the whole console will be raised. The shifter porch will have a flange added all the way around so it can be screwed down for shifter access.

Now the car's back on the rotisserie so the floors/tunnel can get finished. The chassis is back home. Hopefully in a couple more weeks they'll be mated again for the last time.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
