Thanks Rusto. I may have to try coming up with an iambic pentameter response one of these days.

As to today's progress, I've got the connectors welded in entirely. Ran out of gas right at the end too so I called it a day. I've got primer, paint, and seam sealer ready for tomorrow. No way am I going to do any painting with the Duc in the garage or near the garage for a few hours after I finish spraying. I'll start early tomorrow and get it sprayed. Might even get the brake and fuel lines remounted and drop the car off the cribbing. I want to drive it and get an alignment done since we requared the subframe before starting. I'm anxious to see how it feels.

On to the pictures. Don't look at the welds too much. They still suck. I also tried different techniques as I went. I was able to close up most of the gaps with just welding. Blew a few holes through the floor pans too. Learned how to close up said holes with just the welder too. Learning experiences what else can I say?
