Default 3/4 Frame for first gen?

Hey all, just something for people to discuss, like or dislike. I just finished up my frame yesterday. It took a lot of engineering and re-engineering, and the photos really don't do it justice. This spring I found cracks and buckling in the floor under the rear seat, even w/ bolt in connectors. I looked @ weld ins and while the DSE's looked great, I wanted to be able to unbolt the car yet if ever necessary, so here is my version. Main rails are 2x3x.12 and the whole unit is under 40lbs. (just simple 1X2 bolt ins are 15) The whole thing is welded to the stock stub and will roll under the car and bolt right up.

Now it's crunch time cuz I want to be @Joliet for the GG show in Sep.
