I SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS ON THE CHOPPED 37 PICKUP

Here is the flat pattern of the crossmember.
I made a little cut part way through the material so I could bend it. Then I folded up the metal and welded the seems.


I fabricated the motor mounts out of several pieces of 3/16 steel. 

I welded and ground them and here is the finished product.





I needed to get this engine out of my way in the shop. I decided the best way to remove it was to install it in the Chopped 37 Ford. I did a little fabricating and made my transmission cross member and motor mounts and bolted that bad boy in. It is a very good fit. I will get the body back on tomorrow and get it out of the shop. I have a bunch of work that needs to be done before the end of the month and I need the space. Stay tuned!
