Greetings Luke,
That's incredibly good advice. Yes, I can do that with no problem. I wasn't aware of that section being so stressed so yes, I can add something that way. The notch was due to floor pan recess but I can easily apply a gussett and a frame extension to that crossmember. Thank you for the suggestion!  Cheers Dave

Dave, a few things. First, what an incredible, insane job you're doing!!! I can't imagine taking something like this on even if I was retired and I had nothing to do!! You have unbelievable focus on your projects.
 Second I'd also like to help a fellow member as well. When you're done I can offer you free storage for it!!!

Ha! Thanks Mark! The way things are falling into place, I may be bringing the thing completed next year to MCACN instead of just in paint but not completed.
Thank you for the compliments. It's definitely a test in patience. Case in point, the dash: First, need to lay out the A-pillar crossmember and then get the measurements from the windshield base frame to the dash structure. Oh, and I need to make the windshield frame to boot! With that, I need to make sure the wiper transmissions have clearance so I need three measurements on those. Oh, and since there aren't any, I need to find them!  Once things get measured up then I can weld the frame up but only before I make the mounts and verify the steering column sits correctly. It's truly a puzzle and it's so much fun to figure this out!!I'm already starting to figure out what car is next on the agenda after this is done. I know...one thing at a time!! Thanks for the thoughts fellas.... When I do get this done I want everyone that sees it to sit in it and enjoy it. You're all a part of this disaster whether you like it or not!!  Cheers, Dave
