Well I got the S&P pan in and install it and drop the engine and tranny back in the car and it fit real pretty. I also bought an crossmember from BRP and that thing is awesome. It fit in like a glove. am plan on doing the rear next. I have a 12 bolt I just pickup, need to clean it up and install the F-body disc brake. will post pics up soon

Well guy I've been busy till last night ,I pick up a 12 bolt and it was pretty clean ,so I decide to bring it inside out of the big snow storm we have here in NY, anyhow I wire wheels it down and cover it up with POR15 then pull the cover off to take out the axel to install F-Body Dics brake setup.
