I liked the CFR pieces, but am reverting to a “delmo” style adapter and coil relocation. Just personal preference

My first time going from low-to-high and I want to make sure I do it right the first time.
Cut-off wheel on a grinder, follow the indent. I will likely weld in square nuts, ala factory

The stock floor basically has a formed body line in the floor that pretty much can be used as the cutting guide. You want to leave enough material past the reference holes so there's a decent flange when bolting the hump.

Really was pretty straight forward for both models.
What he said, but I laid the hump in place and black spray painted the perimeter and holes
