2:00 Friday afternoon and my weekend project is completed! The transmission crossmember fit like a glove! I highly recommend for an LS swap project.

Hopefully this will take care of that little bit of transmission slap we were getting in 4th gear at low speed with the torque converter locked.

I also rotated the exhaust cutouts there was a couple of spots that looked like they could be doing some of that too.

It’s a little drippy outside so not test drive today, but she runs and sounds good so we’ll have to wait for a dry day.

Serenity has always been one of my favorite and most reliable vehicles. Recently she has decided she needs attention.

A/C work, rebuild of the turbo 350 transmission, and an upgrade to the March serpentine system and she is back to like new.

These old girls, as much as the are an absolute pleasure to have, they do need their maintenance.

I look forward to to many more years of pleasure driving this beautiful old lady. I am blessed to have to ability to keep her on the road!

Gruene Metal Works first Harley restoration. Got the Harley Davidson 1937 EL Knucklehead tuned and ready for the road. This is a cold start test. Time to back her off the lift for the first time ever, button everything up and do a road test!
