My 1955 Chevy 3100 build

After fully welding and grinding the pan into the frame, I realized that the indentation in the frame was not high enough to allow the master cylinder and brake booster to fit properly. I ended up cutting out the top of the pan, moved it up about an inch and welded it back in. After some more grinding, I was finally able to weld in the mounting plate.

The installation of this kit turned out to be pretty tricky as there were multiple pieces involved. To confirm the proper placement of the pan, it was necessary to tack the crossmember to the frame. After the crossmember was in place, there wasn't much room to maneuver my welder and grinder.

I'll stop whining now!
