Re: Widest wheels..."My plan for the sedan"

I welded in the front portion of the custom "H" pattern subframe connectors. In the pic you can see the 2"x3"x .120" section of box tubing that runs side to side directly under the front seat bolt "hump" in the floor (long red arrow). There are 1.75" x 24" x .120" pipe sections welded into the factory front subframe rails (short red arows). These reach from the front where the rails go up at the fotboards and come back out through the rear of the factory rails and are welded to the box tube. The blue circle is where I plan to weld in a drive shaft loop - just not exactly sure where yet. I will be welding 2" box tubing back as well to the rear frame rails as well - I think this will be pretty beefy. You can also see the new front floor sections tacked into place.
