Im struggling with figuring out exactly where Part 17 is suppose to sit. Any help would be appreciated.

From my perspective, it looks to be the front portion of part 17 is suppose to sit on top of crossmember (?) :whiteflag:

Joe !!! Your thoughts?

FYI Part 17 looks a lot like a transmission cover inspection plate. I imagine that would be necessary! Nice work on the body paint!

Thank you for the video! Much appreciated! I kinda thought that’s where the tranny cover was suppose to go.
