What about the section that runs just in front of the seats?
The reason i ask is because i am doing the longs (because they are shot) and was wondering about side/side.
thanx

I wonder if anyone has done anything "different" under the car?
What about boxing in the longs from below, and that would also provide some nice jack points - makes sense in my mind.
I am sure someone has done this before???
thanx.
