Ripped out the seats and carpet today. I was excited to see no rust! I couldn't believe it!. Some moron for some reason I don't get hacked a hole in the tranny tunnel? Why I don't know ,it was in the wrong spot for a 4 speed?
So I fabbed up a patch and welded it in.  I cut out the hole for my shifter . Thanks Alan! Subframe connectors next!

 I bought a set of US cartool subframe connectors but decided to make my own. I didn't like the fit. Material costs was $25! and I have enough material to do 2 cars! I drilled 3/4" holes every 6 " and welded in a 3/4" OD tube. It did make a difference in strength! I put a large adjustable wrench on the end while clamped in a vice and tried to twist. I could move it a little before the 3/4" tube was welded in ( just a little) and none when it was welded in! Material is 1x2 .100" wall square tube. I plan on strengthening up the front subframe too. To much twist stock! This will never be a museum piece so I don't feel too bad building it how I want.
