Oh, you might want to get a different tranny pan (an aftermarket one) with a drain plug in it. Trying to change the filter will result in tranny fluid all over the play due to the way the plan is designed (ask me how I know!).
But looking good so far! Gonna ask a dumb question but wouldn't a Big Hammer do the same job as cutting?

No. I still need the bulk of the upper to attach the lower we are making. If I beat the **** out of it, it will not only look terrible, but I won't have a good surface to attach and weld the homemade lower to. My next post will have pics of the cutaway part, the tranny up higher, and the beginning of a mocked up lower crossmember.
