Thanks guys, for the kind words

I got some more done over the weekend, no where near what I was hoping but I did make progress.

I used my junk, mock up subframe connector has a jig to make the two real ones. They turned out good this time and fit the car really well.

I used the two "C" clamps to hold the new one to the jig after I made my cuts. I tacked them together and test fitted them into the car.

I still have a lot to do. I have cleaned up the inside of the frames rails. I still need to drill the rails for my plug weld.
I'm going to coat the inside of the frame rails with weld through
primer and paint the rail with that stuff also. I need to make my seat mounts and my plates for the rear bulkhead. That has to be drilled for plug welds also. And finish weld everything. I will post pics of the stuff has I get it done.

I got some work done the bird. Been laid up with the flu, who the hell gets the flu in the spring??? I'm getting my shot from now on! I have never had it before, it sucks!

Anyways, I got all the parts made. The connectors, front and rear seat mounts, bulk head plates. The stock frame rails are drilled for plug welds and painted with weld through primer.

The bulk head plates are drilled for plug welds too.

The floor is completely cut out for the seat mounts too. The only thing left is to cap off the ends of the seat mounts and some finish welding the connectors. Then start welding everything together. Should go together quick now?
