Work was done in my garage with several fellows.
Very important to find the 'center' of the car...
Also it gets a little ugly to cut out part of the crossmember. I did this with the motor in the car....Would be a lot easier without ....
This winter will cut front frame and section in piece when I pull motor out.
I can post any pictures you would need!!! Or can e-mail them to you.
Very happy with the product!!!

Hey Nick. Is your last name really Farrigno or is that your nickname cuz you're almost as big as Lou?

I met Lou at a bodybuilding show out in Phoenix. He definitely had the longest line of kids to meet him. Huge man. I think he was getting ready for the Masters Olympia at the time. So, you're saying you're also in the 6'5" height category? Crap man, you're one big sumbish!!! :shock: No wonder you drive a Chevelle and not a belly-button car.

Arnold had a cockiness and charisma that was second to none. Acted like he owned the stage and no one disputed him. Of course, this was never more evident than in the movie "Pumping Iron". No disrespect to Lou or his fans but, my favorite part of the movie was when Arnold was eating breakfast with Lou and his dad the morning of the show and told them he had already called his mother to tell her he had won.

"Only" 6'2"? Man, you've probably got a stigma being called names like "shrimpie"? J/K. I've seen a couple of photos of you on YB and you're no pencil-neck that's for sure.

Here's a link you might enjoy - http://www.schwarzenegger.it/mro/ferrigno.html Lots of photos of Lou from the early days to the later.

Go ahead and get shredded. Maybe it'll inspire me to do the same. I swore I'd never do another contest and Pam would probably leave me if I do but, in case I'm still able to make into the gym for the next 2 years, the thought of trying a Masters class might be calling me. I figure even if I didn't compete, the car might appreciate the weight loss anyway. ;)

Even though I prefer mid-sized Mopars (with big-block or HEMI motivation), intermediate supercars from the other manufacturers still I like, e.g. SS Chevelles, GTO's, 442's, Fairlanes, etc..
