I knew I already needed to redo the trans tunnel from better clearance so the tunnel got cut out .. You can also see the areas where I cut the floor to clearance the subframe

Then because I decided to move the engine back and tuck the headers it got cut a bit more. You can see where the floors had to be cut for the headers.

Then because the Torque Arm mount and trans mount are now very close to I decide it would be nice to have then mounted with a combined mount. Since I also wanted more ground clearance and everything tucked I decided to follow the lead of other 2nd gen builds on the forums. The floor if now being prepped for a full length x-member to be added. This will also be tied into the subframe itself and rocker panels for better rigidity. I'll make a dropout center section of some sort of the mount for easy maintenance on the car too
