finally got a bit of garage time

Ok i decided to notch out 1&1/2" deep and bring it up about 1&1/4" to give me about 1/4" gap between the lower tank and the crossmember. I still have to lay a lot of weld to box it all back in, however heres pix of trial fit with lower valance temp installed. I am glad i decided to do this. Looks much better.
