    worked on the mav all day today got the trans painted with high temp paint and stared to rebuild the tunnel my fab guy was over all day and we think the body got twisted a little from the boss 302.also a pic of the installed rear end.

    Nice progress!!! Have to say though,That looks more like a dent from a hit as opposed to twisting.Of course how or why someone would hit the tunnel inside the car like that is an interesting one.That verticle paint scrape in the middle of the dent makes it look like something heavy was dropped on it.

    i dont think it was from the inside my neighbor said it look like a drive shaft hit there were a lot of dents and tears underneth. i guess thats why there is a driveshaft loop under there.

    P.S. that scrap might have been from me removing the bench seat
