Nice work on the cross member.
Now its got me to thinking. (DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!) Anyway, if a lad was to build an engine cross member like yours, with the engine mounts attached to the removable part, and do the transmission cross member the same way, then he could attach the two cross members to each other, he could drop the pair right out the bottom. If he had a lift like yours, that is. Figure out how to add casters to the drop-out section, and ... I'm starting to see a few down-sides, but it could be done. I like little brain exercises like this. Thanks!

I like the bolt in section. Started to do mine that way, but figured since the trans cross member is fixed in my car, the unit has to come out together anyway, so no use in it.

It ain't grey hair, it's chrome!
I wound up making a removable crossmember for my Hennway - after it was completed - to drop the oil pan to change the rear main seal. Good forward thinking!

Just noticed It was three years yesterday that I brought the two Dodge donor's home to build this car.

This morning I finished up the last of the fabrication work on the interior, other than the rear shock mounts there will be no more fab work. Strip the whole thing down and do the final welding then reassemble.
I used coreplast for the headliner backing, it will get vinyl glued the it when the time comes. I had to form an aluminum bubble to cover the sun roof motor. To do that I made a buck in a piece of heavy wood then beat on it for a long time.

Nice bubble. It fits right in with the rest of the decor. [cl

You constantly inspire us with your 'thinking outside the box', Dozer. The bubble is so cool.
I had to cover my wiper motor too, but it was sticking out a little bit more. It worked out that the glove box of my donor Ranger pickup was just the right size to cover it.

Now that all the fab work is done I pulled the car out blew all the dust off and took some pictures and video in a setting other than the shop. Too say I'm anxious to drive it is an understatement.

Really, the only thing I would change is the engine color and a six pack added....

Thanks Dutch I appreciate it . When I pull the motor for the cam an intake I plan on painting it the original Hemi orange, I'm thinking I'm gonna powder coat the wheels the same color with chrome 8" caps.
