After test fitting the subframe to make sure the body mounts lined up properly I cut down the body mounts for the rear of the subframe to make up for the metal I added boxing the frame where the rear body mounts are. The thickness of the metal boxing the frame isn't really thick but this will keep the subframe from tipping up and raising the radiator support.





Once the cut down body mounts were in place I laid out the chassis/suspension components and started mocking up all the components. The plan is to assemble most of the suspension and front end sheetmetal. Then once everything is in place the doors and front end sheetmetal can be aligned and blocked sanded before final primer. Then everything will be taken apart so the subframe and most of the components can be painted. First time it's been back on 4 wheels in a few years!
