Transmission crossmember build

Last night I built the transmission crossmember, there was a flat crossmember there before that I used as the center section. I had an idea of what I wanted but like so many things before I wasn't totally sure until I started building.

I attached the straight crossmember to the trans, spaced it out to put in an isolator then cut some angle iron for the hangers. Once the hangers were set in place I tacked the square tube to them and the crossmember. After removing the mocked assembly I finished up by trimming the crossbar and capping the joint where the 2 drop bars meet.

I need to drill holes to attach to the frame, then some grinding and painting before it's fully installed.
