    Ok dumb question. What do you attatch the rear of the new 4-link frame rails to at the rear of the car? I don't see much back there, other than sheet metal. Also, how about the front attatching point? Do you just measure and cut the end of the rocker panel at a certain point, or does the front crossmember fit between the rocker panels?

    The front cross member welds between the rocker panels(a very strong area) and the rear welds to the body right where the bulkhead is that the rear bumper(another very strong area of multiple layers of metal) fastens to.

    Hey Jim, how is your progress, have you gotten much further with your car?

    Steve, right now the project is stalled due to too much overtime at work and holiday commitments. And yes as much as I hate to admit it, laziness has also contributed to slowing the project.
