Quote: The major upper crossmember hacking wouldn't be necessary on E and later B bodies.
My E required the crossmember be pretty much removed as the shifter was positioned directly smack dab under it. You could flip the shifter around and move it forward a few inches but that doesn't really help since the "boss" still colided with the arch.
I toyed with the idea of making a permanent arch to replace the piece I cut out but it seemed easier and more straight forward to go the bolt in x-member route.
So without further adeu for the E-body guys.......
A worms eye view. Check out all that fab work using nothing but a Home Depot mig welder, sawzall and diegrinder with a cutoff wheel.
