Okay, blocked the next three days to get the back in. Making absolutely sure crossmember is level and square to the car. If its off, everything else gets thrown off.




The upper seat bar will tie into the top of the loop, making a nice strong crossmember.



I have the cage extended down through the floor and had welded a cap with nut in the bottom of the tube. This is to let me screw on extensions to jack/lift the car. Since the crossmember is directly under this, I welded another extension down that will be flush with the new crossmember.





Normally just tack everything up and finish weld once everything is in. With this being the "control" piece and it's placement cannot move, I'll fully weld it and then weld it in.



No matter what you do, it's going to pull. Quick trip on the press and it back straight.
