'67 Camaro E/SA redo

New crossmember slipped right in...it is lighter being tubular, but the shift cable interference was not improved. I ended up adding some spacers between the shift cable bracket and the pan. The end of the cable that connects to the shift arm is at a slight angle...best I can do with it for now.

I ended up swapping springs this evening instead of going to the track with the stock mono's. I felt like the housing might try to move without a locating pin on both sides of the leaf. The 150# Landrums feel just a tad stiffer than the stockers, but still good. I'm guessing the stock leafs are rated around 125#. I did have to use one lowering block to get the ride height down...it's just a little higher atm and it may settle a little after some use. Will try to get to a track tm evening to try it out.
