the original cradle in the car.  Pretty ugly!!

Good point.  Stretching the cradle will give you more room for exhaust and such.  Looking good.

Why did you choose to cut the cradle rather than to repair/replace the front mounting cradle crossbar?

Thanks for the comment, something to think about for sure.  The car had that set up and was working fine.  I just feel the bar is in the way.

Here's a link to my Aventador build thread.  Built on an '88 Fiero.  My stretch is documented about halfway down the first page.  Hopefully that shows you everything you need to do.

Boy I love those wheels, I wish I would have bought one of those sets when they were available.

It's great when you get parts in, it means you can get stuff done.

thanks !! I had the rims before I even had a car lol.  just got the rubber last month

Got the 3800 swap brackets for the trans and engine in the mail today from FeiroRog over at Pennocks.  Also bought the brackets to relocate the alternator to the power steering pump location from him as well.

I can see you are already making it much better,  what a difference a little paint does.  What are your plans for body color and wheels?

Thanks Pedro, here is a picture of the wheels on the car. I will be upgrading to 13" rotors and wide track all the way around.   I have a few colors in mind but will figure that out later...much later

Got up early, por 15 paint after degrease and prep.  Now I need some sheet metal for the stretch area and Lizard Skin for the fire wall
