a few things True...
1. you can weld the trunk floor to the crossmember where they are in contact to the rear (depending on what you will be doing with your cell) but...
2. you need to think about your exhaust - you can see why I cut the (trunk) corners at 45 degrees where the exhaust reliefs are in the crossmember (assuming you are taking the exhaust back) and
3. when you build your panel to the front of the crossmember be sure to build in some relief for the upper shock mounts - I just dimpled the panel slightly to allow for some clearance
with respect to the bumpsteer photograph - I'm not sure that True actually has the spacers where he wants them - but the key to the spacers is to be able to properly set bump regardless of rules of thumb. On my car we needed 0.8" to get the best curve but the goal is to be able to adjust to what works best in the individual application.
