before I cut out more... what is the best route, to repair this? Thanks Options

here's where I'm at so far, started a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I just bought a Lincoln Elec 150 last week that should do the job fine. My first thoughts practicing with that are that I seem to have picked up welding fairly easily, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about... I've practiced on scrap I've cut out from the car, but welding them back together, exhaust pipe, angle iron... none of it has been too difficult. Time to get some gas before I touch the car though.

Anyway, I will probably remake a new body cart with steel stock... one that I can bolt on adapters to hold the suspension mounting points stable as I think that is going to be a good idea if i take out anymore. I think before I do cut the frame I will add in tangerines rear pickup reinforcement and inner console reinforcements as well as a long and rear chassis stiffening kit.

I just dont want the car to flex... after hammer back down both of my front jack donuts my passenger side is still about 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch off the wooded cart. It may be that its just leaning because its really resting on the center under the tunnel but it could be that the car is tweeked a bit. I think i was 1.4 inch off between the top of the windsheild and the rollbar when i measured those distances. I dont know what they were but thats what the difference was.

comments suggestions. I actually feel like i'm getting closer to sending it to paint. even thought i know im still pretty far away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
