It's been a long time since I posted any progress. Heres a few pics of the passenger side.

I'm going to smooth out the body lines or seams on the rear valance, lower rear rockers, and the filler panel. I want to have a better flowing look. I also have the sub frame all welded up solid and I plan on doing the guldstrand mod sometime this week. I have at least a weeks worth of welding and grinding on the rear of the car.

I spent about six hours out in the garage yesterday I got it all cleaned up and put the car dollys on (sp) to help move it around. I bolted the sub frame back on to make sure that the new floor pan that I put in still fit correctly. I was worried about the inside cage nuts that attach to the rear most subframe bushing. The floor did not have any wiggle room when I put it in and the rear cage nuts were not exactly where I wanted them. But I figured I could still move them if I had to as long as I did not weld in the seat platforms.

I lined up the alignement holes and everything fit just fine.
I also drilled the new holes for the Guldstrand mod. I drilled the frame and control arms for 1/2" bolts. I think the stock ones were 7/16.
