Magnified, used to be a mechanic and then worked for a speed shop many years ago when i was working my way through college. That's where I picked up MIG/TIG welding and some fabrication "skills" (if you want to call them that lol). Just been a hobby aside from doing side jobs for friends/coworkers though for the past decade.

Pics are without the shims in the crossmember so the trans will come up a bit more and level out the engine. Not really happy with my work, welds and work was rushed and sloppy but definitely structural. Tough doing all this in a cramped 1 car and in a rush after working an overnight shift at work LOL. I mean hell, would have loved to TIG weld it even but this build really needs to be running by fall and there's so much more to do. IMG_9519.PNG

I'd say 1% chance on pulley failure at 15k miles. Just saw grease in the original pics so wanted to mention to check it.

Gonna be a nice and VERY fast car. 9s should be easy with the right gears, tires and suspension. Looks like somebody mistook the car for a Camaro and painted the engine compartment black. 😬
