Default Custom Transmission Crossmember

In building my truck I placed the V8 Lexus 1UZ engine in a slightly different location from where Toyota put the V6 or 4cyl engines. In doing do the transmission was then moved as well. I made some steel plates to mount the transmission crossmember temporarily and in the last week me and my friend Josh were able to make the custom crossmember from some cold rolled steel plate finally. It's much stronger and obviously allows me to properly mount my transmission. Just thought I would share the process.
