My new crossmember I made

[hotwheelsboy28]

big props to you sir. Because of that extra work you put in you will have brag n boasting rights at your local swap meet/ car show bc almost nobody going to have your engine/trans combo. very cool

Thanks, your right, I'll be the only '80 LeSabre Coupe there with that combo. I like being different.

Might want to consider attaching a driveshaft loop before finishing, not a big deal if you never plan to go to the track but nice to have in case and doesn't hurt. Looks good!

The loop is on the list safety first!,Thanks! 😀

For small amounts of steel look at Macmaster Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com Sometimes its cheaper.

Thats nice,and i have to agree with all the other guys now you xan say you made it,no matter the cost,that why when i go to car shows the first thing i ask is did you do the work if not i just keep walking,i dont believe there any pride in being about to pay someone to do it all for you,you should at least get your hands greasy from it ,i dont car about your car if you only have it to show me how much money you have paid someone else to build.

Nice work, I seen pre-fab cross members for G-bodies on EBay going for over $250 for dual exhaust systems.

I agree with you...there is more satisfaction doing it yourself then just paying someone to do it for you.
Here is one of the ones we made for my car.

It uses the older style transmission mount. The one with two bolt holes, unlike the stock version of the malibus.

Those turned out really good! Mind if I ask where you got your dimensions? I might have most of the material laying around to build one.
