I changed my mind and am going to use a flat plate and 2" square that I have cut out. Then ill use the 2" square thats under the front leaf spring bolts and use it instead for my front mount to go under the LCA.

That is a big project!  Good luck going forward. 
I'll note that I find it interesting that the front floorboards look original.

I know I need more cut off discs , sanding discs, preparation discs, and probably some more blast media. I accidentally let my car get some surface rusr before ai got Epoxy on some areas. Its also taken Utah forever to heat up to decent out side. Now that my jig can be leveled hopefully soon I can get my car on my jig so I can start really working on it.  I need to drill out my spot weld on my floor remove it repair it for installation. Ans also remove the inner rockers so I can clean out the inside of the rockers then I can reinstall the floor. Its in really good shape I hate to scrap the floor. Thats why im thinking three patches isnt so bad. The entire passenger side is solid.

Alight so Amazon fairy delivered my sicssor jacks for my jig. I have now welded on six plates to the bottom of the jig. I have so far 4 custom sicssor jacks that have the same soze plate as whats weld on the jig welded on to the tops of the sicssor  jacks. Now I have the jacks bolted in place under the jig. The sicssor  jacks I purchased are smaller then the casters so the casters can be left in place and the scissor  jacks can be lowered. I also left top plate on the jacks so it roates. Or rather the jack can still be roated 360 degrees. I do have a laser level and tripod I was thinking of using to level the jig out now. Or Get a trusty level from lowes. They sell i think a 9 or a 10ft level for around a $100. Thought it might help out leveling the jig since its 15ft long 43" wide. What do yall think would be tbest way to check for level? I do have two short levels I can use. For the ends. I was thinking that long level maybe nice

Wow! Just gotta say that that is quite the undertaking. Quite the undertaking. Personally, considering my sheetmetal skills, I would have to rivet it together like an aircraft - as my welding capabilities and lack of equipment would preclude me even considering it. Good for you for attempting it. Keep us appraised as you "hot glue" it together.

 
I doubt I have that many more tools then people here on the forum. I own 5 tool boxes 4   42" tool boxes one of them has a peg board that slides out the back off one of the boxes that holds my calmps shears and tin snips. I also have two smaller mechanics chests. Plus a 52" craftsman work bench. beside from those just my welder and a few sanders and grinders sand blaster and gss air compressor and small mechanic vise.
Some tools id like would be an EZ hammer basically looks like a pneumatic palm nailer thats been modified to hold hammer heads and punches. Would be awesome for helping with body work. I also would like to try a Ray sheleen if I spelt that correctly. Its a metal disc that people use to grind over a panel and it knocks down any highs in a panel and shrinks them. Havent tried it but I have been told about them a few times. A small slip beed roller would be neat. My buddy modified a eastwood roller and made it electric and modified the toller to mount in a vise at The Mustang Restoration shop I was working at. I would like to add one of these tools to my collection as well. Sides from that a Drill press and a lathe would be neat to own as well.

Good luck on your new job, seems you'll be doing a lot of welding both on the job and at home.

Aso I tried backing up my car out of the garage and over the top of my chassis jig to see if the rear end would clear. I thought it just might clear as the sicssor jacks are alot about 2" lower if I remember correctly. I believe I ordered 5" casters but with its swivel bracket turns into 6" overall height for the casters. I will edit later if the measurements are slightly different. On regarding the rear end clearing the chassis jig it only cleared the first brace and then will hit the next brace. The rear end center is about 1/4" from clearing the next braces on the chassis jig.  However once the car is over the chassis jig in its new stationary postion the rear end would clear as there are no braces welded in under the rear ends location. Im debating now what would be my easiest way next to getting my car over the chassis jig. I bought some extra 2x2 1/8" wall square tube for my vertical uprights for my chassic jig  and to use up the rest of the 2x2 I was thinking of using it and building caster mounts that would mount in the front rear leaf spring mounts. Another option I thought of was to build a slight ramp for the tires to roll on, so the rear end will clear the Chassis jig braces. I realize the other option is to barelly notch the braces and weld back in the top. I dont really wanna go this route.

You have a pm in your message box.

So my Brother had two 2x12 x16 and two 2x12 scraps I was able to use these as a ramp for my car to roll over the top of my chassis jig. I now have the jig level car is centered over the top of the chassis jig. I now how to finish building my mounts that hold on my four scissor jacks that are pictured under my rockers. These will lift my car up to level then I can figure out my mounts for the bod to the chassis  jig. I have the bases to the mounts just havent made any vertical posts yet. The posts that mount to body or chassis and then to the jig may have to wait. I dont have my own personal drill press yet. Thats one tool I do not have that I really need for the verticals so I can make sure I drill the holes square.

I need to build my vertical up rights that the body and chassis will mount to. Right now I have my mohnts for my scissor jacks tack weelded on the chassis jig. I have scissor jacks tack welded in place on the mounts. I habe four RV levelers under the found scissor jack mounts that are umder the rockers. The one mount Im. Getting some downward flex movemnt. I have a Rv leveler under this one scissor jack as a helper. I pulled out the rear axle today as well. That wasnt to hard. Used some 2x12s under the wheels dropped the rear mounts and rolled the rear end right out of place after the shackles werre un bolted. I barely had to lift the Rear end over the ends of the leaf springs it worked out awesome.
