Looks great!

While you have it upside down, check the fiberglass holding the wire conduit to the underside...mine was a little punky and I reinforced it when I did my lip repair.

I am sure you already have it figured out, but do you have a removal plan for the shift rod?

I made mine removeable from the top.

I'm still in design stages with a ton of ideas floating around in my head , this will be a tubular chassis no pan no tunnel , I'm shooting for mid travel squeeking every inch I possibly can out of stock type torsion springs front and rear , can't see dropping 2 grand on just coil overs , I'd rather use that on engine and a 091
