Clean work Vic! It’s like watching the fireworks at World of Fun before the big finale on all your builds Vic! I think your attention to detail is second to none.

I’m doing great, two months post left hip replacement due to osteoarthritis. I feel like a new man, I went way too long in pain. I got back to work in 6 weeks.

Floor pan work continues. I got the tunnel trimmed and the front section in place. Plenty of room around the trans. Next up the middle section.

Once I finish test fitting the tunnel all the way back under the rear seat, I'll get to work on the transmission crossmember. I picked up an Energy Suspensions mount that fits the FormaCars bracket. I'm on the fence about whether to get an Alston x-member and modify it or just build my own. I may have to flip the FC bracket upside down to position the mounting pad lower - or make a spacer. I'm sure the solution will come into focus right after I've spent a bunch of $$.

You are in good company here. I've experienced the phenomena on more than a few occasions.
