It's light.
Don't worry about the frame rails. Make it so that the bottom of the crossmember is flush with the bottom of the rocker (not the pinch weld) and then you can figure how to tie in the frame rails. Make sure to "plate" the area where the crosmember welds to the rocker also.

What size plate should I use? How thick? Long? Wide?
I dropped everything off at http://www.hyperformanceracing.com/ this morning so it should be done this weekend.

I sent you another PM with another question. Older cars have a rocker panel that's straight up and down so it's easy to weld on a backing plate. But, on mine..... the rocker panel is contoured (Slanted), so a backing plate will be hard to weld on unless I bend it to fit. The white car that I posted, it looks like he cut the crossmember to fit the contour of the rocker panel.
Let me know what you think? Do it just like the white car?

Allen, do you have a easy explanation on how to square up the car so I can mount this crossmember?
From my understand, get the car level up on jacks. Get a plumb bob, find spots up front and make marks on the floor, then do the same with the rear crossmember 4 link holes? Something like that? LOL
Thanks for all the help, I'm not going to pick your brain since I know what you do for a living. All this time, I thought you were a farmer.
