I have the factory undercoating remove from the back of the car. It is leveled and I added some reinforcements inside the car before I cut the frame for the spring location kit.
Thanks

I cut the bottom of the US Car Tool spring relocation mount so they are flush with the frame and filled the lower holes. Then cut the rust free factory frame rails for the spring relocation mounts.
Thanks
Pat

Sure is, I would love to start a car project with floors like that just once in my life.

That's why I bought this car ;-)

I have the spring relocation mounts installed. The US Car Tool spring mount have an alignment flange that bolts to the original forward spring perch but I had to cut it off as the Reilly Motorsport Street Lynx centers to the original frame (36 ¾")









I used the frame cutouts to make templates to match the shape on the new spring mounts.







With spring mounts tacked welded on I will fit the upper crossbar before welding in.
Thanks
Pat

Before welding in the new RMS cross member I add a gusset inside the frame to help distribute the load to both side of the frame. I also had to make two shims to fill the small gap of the cross member.








 














I used a spot welded to hold the shim in place.






When it is welded in I will remove the original cross member.
Thanks
Pat

The Plasma cutter and spot weld cutter make short work of removing the right side inter wheel well. It would nice if it goes back in as easy, wishful thinking!
Thanks
Pat

I test fit the 4 link rear today and put the rear wheels on the car for the 1st so I can setup the inter wheel wells. It's not quit the milestone of a car coming out of the paint booth, but seeing it with the wheels on and the right stance is a close 2nd!
Thanks
Pat

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

Before the new trunk floor gets installed I moved the wheel well flange in 2 ¼" on each side to keep an original look to the floor.
Thanks
