Andy I bent everything myself. Both new crossmembers, and the tubes running front to back, are coped into the frame, meaning I used a holesaw the size of the tube, and the new tubes go into the frame, and are welded from both sides. I have changed the mid-crossmember, the one that turns up and just touches the floor in front of the rear seat. It has been cut out and replaced with 1 1/2" x 1/2" plate that now turns down and goes below the driveshaft. I thought that during mock up my mufflers would fit behind the one that I made first, but no dice. Now the mufflers are sitting on top of the new flat crossmember. I'll try to find a new picture...
I know that there are kits out there, but you'll have to do some research. Shoot just order a chassis from Roadster Shop and get it over with.
Thanks for the props!
