Got started on it today and got the main connectors in. Haven't welded them completely, just enough to get me to work.

Not pretty, but hey, it works :) And nobody will ever see it.
Tomorrow, we'll cut the channels for the front and rear frame to rocker panel connectors

So now, 6 out of the 8 points on my cage will be tied directly to the frame and not some skimpy 4"x4" plate on sheetmetal...
Also picked up some 2" channel stock that I will cut and fab up some seat mounting braces.
Just on the short drive, the car is noticably stiffer:super:
BIG BIG thanks to Ralph @ RS MUFFLER (http://www.socalhorsepower.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8304) in Downey for letting me use his lift for like 6 hours today and for doing the welding tomorrow...:beerchug:
