Thanks for all the reference materials and info guys...I appreciate all of it.

I do have all the sheetmetal and it will be in place (mocked up) when I fit the frame rails in. I also have very careful measurments marked on the floor of all the relevant points. My goal is to go slow and very accurate.

I am just finishing the rebuilding of the rear portion of the rockers and I went with 16 ga which is thicker than the factory. I am also using 1/8" plates at all the crossmember locations to add strength.

It was far easier to cut off the entire clip than remove the trunk and frame rails without the qtrs.

I will post more pictures as soon as I can upload them on here (probably tomorrow eve.)

Greg.
