this is what I had to do temporarily to sit cab down tonight..engine and trans are at my max at 5.2* down...I already don't like that much drop....will look into it more wkend.....more worried now about that big azz u-joint behind tailshaft!!!...real easy to clearance bellhousing area and high hump still covering opening....but rear may be a little harder.......Love that crossmember shot.....jim

Very nice progress. What's the deal on the transmission interference? I thought the 4l80 would fit with a high hump? Did you drop your cab? Maybe I missed it in one of your posts?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 
lookin good , the change of dash will give it a total different feel , when sitting in it :chevy:

Well Jim, as posted on 67cheby build a few days ago, I finally got the chance to go over all your build today. Everything that all the guys have said about your build is echoed by me. Just a great build. I did a 67 for a friend a few yrs ago (before I knew about this site). It sure would have been a lot of help to me to have had help from this site (lot of great people and great builds). I will continue to watch and enjoy your build and learn more and more each day....Jim :metal::metal:

I did the same and echo your thoughts on this site.....Mike has been inspiration to me as well as lots of others....I do most of my own work...with not a lot of high end tools....as do most on here....I don't fish...don't skydive...do gamble...(oh boy)......lol......Just work on my vehicles and take care of family...
More pics of clearancing high hump late tonight..........jim

Texas speed is putting it all together for me but would like to get a little jump on the cab fitting if possible, i have the body drop on there so thats another 3/4"
