Hi Rusty, before I had cut the cross member, I made some referrence marks on the under side of the driver and passenger side frames and took the measurement across from frame to frame, and to the ground. After the cut was made, I checked to see if these measurements had changed, they did not. All the measurements remained the same. I think it had something to do with the placement of the jack stands on the main suspension frame, shown in the 2nd picture below, which did not allow any movement after the cross member was cut. I also completed the welding of the main cross member driver and passenger side support brackets shown below in the 3rd and 4th pictures below. The holes on the two stubs of the main cross members will be trimmed and covered with plates and welded solid as well. As for where the half shafts attach to the brake rotors. If you look good at the picture below you will note that I have removed the outer cv joint (gold in color with gear teeth around it) from the half shaft, I then grinded off a portion of that outer cv joint, painted it and re-installed it. This is what keeps the rotor and bearing assembly in place. Your project idea sounds very interesting. After I started on my project, I did look at the Prowler drivetrain assembly and was very interested in using it. But I had already purchased most of the drivetrain components that I needed for my project. Other wise, I would have gone with the Prowler drivetrain. As for the electrical side of your project, my experience has shown me that it is best to use the same engine harness and computer from what ever donar car you chose. This will make things much easier for you, believe me! Thanks for sharing your project with us. Be sure to post pictures of your progress. I will be posting more pictures shortly. Thank you, Tommy.
