I built my car to match NHRA Super/Stock rules that stipulated there had to be some oe floor between the tubs and the rails below the floor. Looks like I have to rethink that and do a lot more cutting, too! thanks again!

Hi Ric,
You're welcome, glad my posts are helpful!
Yes my rear rails are above the trunk floor. Fortunately I don't have to follow any sanctioning body rules for my build.
With that said, once the body is on to stay, I'm probably going to attach what's left of the OE trunk floors to the frame rails using a "L" on each side since there's only about a 1/2" gap. I won't do anything with that though until I get wheel tubs figured out. As for the mount, I think I'm going to fab an outrigger from the frame rail to the mount location.
Hope all that makes sense and answers your question.
