Also a front cut is not suitable as a welding jig


Yep I would agree with this, but just in case there's any confusion JC wasn't using it as a jig but to test clearances etc. Easier to move around a front cut rather than a whole body shell.

Basically what other people have said is the go, if you have not got a substantial jig

the tower bolts go up into the body this alignement is critical, even an 1/8in out & it won't fit back in the car, BLUE


So the jig should maybe include some vertical tubes/whatever at the rear with flat plates coming forward to bolt onto the tower mounts.....the plates may need to be unboltable to get the subby in there in the first place....just a thought.

Alternatively....some tube with flat plate on top may be able to come up underneath each tower with bolt holes :!: :?:
