Finally more progress!! Had to make some modifications to the Global West Rocker Rail support kit. I had to miter the 1" square tubing to fit flush against the factory pinch weld. I welded the square tubing up and metal finished the welds. Next I cut the round tubed down to size and welded them in place between the sub-frame connectors and square tubing against the pinch weld. I also finished welding the mini tubs!

I always like to see Ford builds. No doubt the car is going to be awesome. Brings a mix to Lateral-Chevy. Hahaha.

Here are some updated pics!! 1st and 2nd pic show the Global West Rocker Rail support welded in. 3rd shows the mini tubs welded in. 4th pic shows the firewall after I ground down body filler around the edges. It was 1/4" thick in some spots. This was someones attempt to smooth out the firewall. NO BUENO! They used flimsy 26ga metal and spread filler on top till it was level. I am going cut it out and do it the right way!
