Agreed , also stronger with that section of the floor in. Especially being the torsion bar crossmember.  Not too late to add it back in though! Easy enough to do.

This is what the factory 4 speed cutout(s) look like, there was actually two holes:

Thanks for the heads up everyone! I guess I got a little too carried away cutting out the floor.

New video is up on the channel. I fabricated some subframe connectors!

Sure is nice to have a rotisserie, SO much easier! Nice work! Don't forget about the e-brake cable.....it needs to go thru the subframe connectors

I really dislike the original e-body 'clothesline' e-brake system so I replaced it with one of these.

Mounted on to the side of a sub frame connector and bought two Lokar cables to run to each wheel. Works great.

Where did you mount the button?  Did you remove the E-brake pedal?

Button replaced the lighter and yes I removed the ebrake pedal and plugged the firewall holes.

@dodj I really like the looks of the e-brake system! I think I'll use that system to simplify my build.
