Thanks Matt! I think it'll be a "solid performer with some rear traction issues". A fun street car regardless. Yep, I'm still waiting for a bucket of water to hit me in the face on the bolt-in claim actually being true, especially something with so many mount points and brackets.

I've heard of latch fittment issue w Autorad, but not yet experienced it myself. You made it look easy tho...
Thanks Ron! I'm not sure if you've done a full front-end assembly with your setup yet, but at least you've been warned if you haven't. At least that'll eliminate the surprise and head scratching for you if you bump into the same issue. Possible Cliffs notes for the next guy: move rear holes on latch assembly down 5/8" and trim off excess to allow it to go up into the crossbar slot by 5/8" more, open up slot under upper support crossbar to allow latch assembly to move forward 1/4"-3/8", and open up a few of the holes on the center vertical brace to allow a little wiggle room to get things to fit. Then that focker bolts right in.
