Yesterday we got some welding and grinding done.
We welded on the subframe mounting plates that i made a while ago on to the passengers side and ground that down. I just need to drill the hole's.

Alex, will you weld a nut for a 5/16 on the inside of the heal panel, to bolt on the upper nearside trunion? Before you close up the sill,....

Kind of, I'm going to take off the other bolt then I'm going to tap 1/2 inch steel with both holes on so it will be stronger.
