Street / Strip 72 Swinger
wanting to keep as much trans cross member as possible
we split it in the middle
spread it open then installed 2
1" square tubing, bent into a "U" shape
to tie them back together
in this pic 2 of the"U" pieces are under the raised trans tunnel
the other rearward "U" are for the cross members under the floor and frame connectors
also serve as drive shaft safety loops
the front cross member can be un-bolted to remove the trans
