Cleaned up the plates I'm using to box in the frame and started welding them on. Work's been a bit nuts so I'm way behind schedule. Despite being behind I'm still trying to take it slow and easy to get it all right the first time.

Even while trying to do it right I screwed up a little. I wanted to drill holes in the 1/8 plate so I could also plug weld (think that's what it's called) it to the existing frame so its not just held by the outer welds. I remembered on the lower plate but not the upper. I'm going to carefully drill some holes mostly thru the plate then weld it up. I assume with the correct setting the weld should still penetrate and bond even if I don't drill all the way through the plate.

I think I've also decided to swap out the front brakes to a 13: 6 piston Wilwood setup including a 7/8 master cylinder. Mike @ Wilwood is working with me to get the parts together. It's beyond my original budget but I figure it's best to just get it all done right the first time.
