Well my project is moving right along. I fabricated and tig welded the 8 point cage. Ryan kertz got the new floors all spot welded in place. A lot of the suspension components were also welded, such as the rear upper coil-over mount, subframe connectors, watts link assembly, and torque arm kit. Ben Hermance is in the process of having some renderings done for me I cant wait.. I'm still somewhat new to this forum, so I'll give you a little info on my project.

Your subframe connector wher eit connects to the front rail - did you add any reinforcement at that attachment point ?

The little "stub" that comes off the main rail, ie where you have attached your subframe connector , is a very thin weak piece. I would add an extension or some kind of gusseting system to attach to the real frame horn. If you design it cleverly, you can reinforce the curved/bend area of your connector to make up for the weakness of a bent tube as well. Should only cost you about 4 lbs per side, 8 lbs total.

on edit: I took a closer look , it does appear you may have done some reinforcement there already. That "stub" is almost tinfoil thin compared tothe frame horn normally.
