It's looking great. Did things check out good for the front end and it's position?

Yeah, I bolted the front fenders back on and measured from the outer wheel lip to the wheel and it was 3/8" difference between the driver and passenger side.

If you noticed in the pictures, I didn't weld the connectors in fully. I'm gonna wait until I get the new wheels and put them under the car for more measurements. I think I'll be okay though.

Yeah, those Saints looked good tonight! I'd love to see them in the Super Bowl this year.

That's great. Way better than it was before. Nice job! Those wheels are going to look like a million bucks on there.

Got the subframe connectors welded in today on the inside of the car. I'll do the bottom side when the car is on the rotisserie. I also got the seat pans notched to go around the connectors. I'll weld those in tomorrow and get everything epoxy sealed. Pictures tomorrow.

Seat pans and frame connectors are in. I also scuffed the floor pan again and reprimed the entire floor.

Next up is the front subframe.
