thanks for suggestions. Man if I could weld I would be driving something very different. I am a bolt and torque, sand and paint kinda guy.
People tell me to grab a Crown Vic crossmember and trim to fit. That got me to thinking about some crossmembers I already have laying around here like Chevelle and C10, even 50s Fords and possibly Mopar.
Later today, after the frost melts, I will crawl under the car and see what might fit. I would get a G-Force but can't be sure about dimensions, also 300 bucks is a little steep just to make room for driver's side exhaust pipe. I'm saving money for carpet and paint, maybe radio or AC setup.
