Did you feel comfortable aligning and working alone or did you have some help? I remember you mentioned having a buddy doing the bull work but wondered about the measure twice and weld once parts.
I had to shift the passenger connector over in the back to align w the rear rail, yes that left a gap on the outside, I used a copper backer and laid down a wide bead .... slowly!

I always work alone, I had Tom come over to muscle the subframe and help take cross measurements (hard to hold both end of the tape measure myself) and today I double checked everything w my laser level and had to fix the angle of the dangle. I didn't get the template exactly square, that the only thing I could think of .... so I fixed it!

Thanks for asking ....
