    Mochaman,  I agree with BobE.  Quite the project!

    By any chance do you have a frame jig, similar to what MS used when he joined that coupe & FB a couple of years ago?  Is this the car you have that full floor for?

    TimC, I actually donated that frame jig that I made to Ed for this project.  I am glad to see the work is continuing again !  Can’t wait to see some welding going on!   Once you are sure you got it in place, though. You are correct!   Measure 18 times. Test fit, and test fit THAT to everything it attaches to.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
