You may have thought of this already, but you could weld in some vertical suppports in the trunk that will meet up with the wing mounting brackets when the trunk is closed, so you will have a rock-solid support of the wing.

The open tubes have bolts in them. In the back they are the bolts for the rear subframe. On the trunk they are for the wing mounting brackets.
The tubes with the subframe bolts are actually 14" long, you only see the top 4". They extend down through the main frame beams to the bottom of the channel.

There is no need for that. You could tow the car from the wing mounts It's 1.5" steel tubing and the trunk lid is not going anywhere. The bonus is that the trunk opens and the springs work just like normal supporting the lid when it's open. It was an idea stolen from British touring cars.

Nice color!!
Where is your dash? Tell tony to stop being lazy and weld in some mounting brackets (and send me my a-arms and BSK while he's at it)
