Wow - thank you, Tom! That's a really nice build. I have plans to drop a subframe IRS suspension in the rear if all goes like I think it will.

No problem - it took a second, but I figured it out. Those look great.

Wasn't going to tub it. I'd like to modify as little as possible. The subframe I'm going to use looks like it will fit very well and require minimal attachment mods to the car. I might be wrong though.

I can only dream of having anything happen that quickly on any of my car projects. I have to do it myself and have a poor track record for finishing.

So they fabbed the trans mount or did you use something universal and modify it to fit?

As always thanks for all your knowledge
