 |  A padded replacement vinyl top was added to the car at some point which once cut up, it pulled a lot of moisture and ruined the roof. |  |
 |  Possibly flooded at some point. Frame rails both front and rear were full of mud. |  Outer wheelhouse (770-1067-R) used as a patch. |
 Holes drilled to plug weld the 800-1370 down. |  The trunk floor was placed in the car and primer was used to mark the rail locations. |  |
 Dana learning how to weld! |  ... and pointing to her favorite. |  |

 |  OEM roof clamped back down |  545RFE's lack of fitment to the torsion bar xmember. |
 |  First cut at the floor |  Crossmember out of the way to allow the trans to come up into place |
 Pass through tube welded into the frame connectors for the E brake cable |  |  |
 Brace in place to tie the crossmember sides back together |  |  |
 |  New fabricated crossmember/mount for the trans using a #2659 mount |  |
 Test fitting the original console |  |  Shifter mount bracket lowered as much as possible |
 Shifter uses a 42" cable (#C95-042) and ends (#842 and #CW3) from chassisshop.com. The original 545RFE trans cable mount had to have it's hole size modified to work with the new cable. The shifter throw/detents line up with the detents for the trans. |  A Jeep dipstick tube (53013685-AF) and dipstick (53013686-AD) were used. The tube was modified to closely follow the back of the head to clear the firewall. |  |
