Thanks Lower, I think it will be strong enough for the loads it will have. Yep, planning to start at the front and work my way back with tack welds. I need to position the X pipe where it needs to be and work back to it. Then a very short run to mufflers and a 90 out to the flex pipe and running board outlets.

Hey 98 good to see you back. I've been enjoying Betty's updates and I ...for a second...thought I was on the wrong build when Nsane was posting pics. Imagine they will do a great job with the metal while you redo the engine.

My AADD was kicking in and I stopped to look at this one. No powertrain installed and has new paint and decent chrome for $3k. Retired new car dealer had a guy do paint and body. He wasn't happy with result so stopped the restoration. Thinking it is perfect for my next LS swap project.
