More work done on the project.... I need the motor to sit a little lower than the frame would allow for hood clearance. I made some frame rails from square channel and welded them on. They are higher up than the sway bar, so no ground clearance issues:



I then torched out the frame where needed:

I boxed in the open ends for looks and strength:



And cleaned them up with the grinder. I may add some gussets as well, undecided so far:



I needed about 1/2" more clearance for the intercooler as well. I cut the front frame rails down, boxed them in, and ground them clean. The intercooler will sit directly on top of the rails and will now clear the 'bonnet'.
