Pretty smart preloading the chassis with the crossbar. Keep taking measurements on the drivers side while you slowly weld that back up. It will want to shrink..closing your door gaps.

Not yet. But I will soon enough. Thank God my car isn't in too bad of shape.
I remembered 'cause I'm in good shape back there under the quarter and I'll
most likely cut that end off.

Thanks Brad,
I learned to brace up the car by lurking here before I started. the measurement seems to be holding steady for now, but I will keep an eye on it while I weld.

Preload the tub. Stretch the car apart PAST the measurement prior to welding.

OK, about how much do you think it will shrink?

3-4 mm's at least. I see a lot of welding to be done. I cant stress how important it is to keep checking the measurements. I would also set aside several days for welding. Let it cool overnight.

Once you get the piece tacked in, don't start at one end and go all the way across.
Alternate side to side. Don't let the heat build up on you!

Thanks again,
I think it will take me a couple days regardless so not a problem. Now the coffee break is over and back to the car!

Keith, welcome to the club, you definately have your work cut out for you.I used the same pieces from restoration design, Chris Foley of CFR Welding/ Tangerine Racing welded them in for me with some other rust repair work. Definately would not cut off the rear tabs that is the added strength to the rear long. The stiffener does go over everything including the jack post. Chris welded my on with the rear fenders still on the car!!! Good Luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
