Small non-progress update.

Turns out 1" threaded rod makes a really bad locator pin. Seems obvious now, but the threads catch the sheet metal as well as allow it to move ever so slightly.

Solution was simple, 1" bolts with the heads cut off and we're back to awesome again.

Next are the pull clamps I'm going to use to hold the car up by the rocker pinch when the frame/cross-member support isn't present, or just whenever I want some extra support for this thing. There will be some sort of support for these to bolt to that spans the jig somehow.

Alright, all my vert fans out there, does anyone have close up detailed pictures of this area? I need to reconstruct quite a bit of it.

Finally making more progress on this thing. Trying to keep motivated and I'll tell ya, one thing that makes this interesting is trying to figure out how these went together so I can reverse it when I take parts off etc. Like a stupid expensive puzzle.. lol
