Wow, nice fab work! You wouldn't be interested in moving to Colorado and helping Justin Kill make H-body and race car parts, would you?

Thanks...and no thanks. However, Justin is welcome to head this way. That being said...it wouldn't be impossible if the price is right. :bump:

In order to do so, the crossmember is being modified for clearance. The factory welds were horrible. After grinding them and rewelding, the inside was welded and the gusseting was done with heavier plate.
