Well, I finally got around to finishing up the crossmember welding. All four crossmembers are welded in with the rear patch done and this thing is SO strong now it is hard to believe! The door still shuts with a click and everything is solid. The car sounds different now when the doors are shut, honest!
It is supposed to be 60 degrees here in Michigan this weekend. The car will get moved outside and the stripping will begin! Wish me luck and good weather!
