so i finally got some more parts in and am slowly starting to get ready to kick it into high gear !!
pics !!
first I cut the subframe up to make taking my long tube headers in and out that much easier... this was my choice I did not have to cut away this much but I did, cut and boxed back in for structural support !

cut a piece of sheet metal to box it in, cut a template with cardboard and traced it onto the metal
going to paint it with rust paint once I finish filling all the holes
and the final product, (other side looks the same) painted, filled, and so much room now !!!!!!!

Thanks guys !!
Kyle, welding...... Many years but 95% on exhaust where the steel wall thickness is much greater. This was my first time welding thin thin sheet metal to a thick object, it was hard to not blow through the thin while heating up the thick enough to get penetration. I found it easiest to just do tacks 1/2" apart all the way along then fill it in after, that's why it looks so uneven, but it didn't matter because then I just ground it down fairly even anyways.

It will need to come in and out a couple of times, watch the reverse switch on the trans I broke mine off first time haha. Hammer the tunnel back it will need quite a massage.
