Following - you are replacing much of the things I'm going to do. I was thinking when I do my frame rails I would notch them for the mini tubs before installing them - looks like you're not. Did you consider this and decide not to and if so why?

I did minitub the car too. I didn't do it first since I am a bit of a novice with doing serious car repair and actual frame removal. I was worried about placing the rails back exactly where the originals were. I got them in but since most of the trunk floor was gone or out. But I didnt have it tacked in to anything near the rear. So after I started notching the rails, it moved a little on me from the welding in the frame rail caps. So after I got the rails and one piece floor in, I started doing the minitub. Which I'll try to show my pics here in a day or two.

In hindsight, I think a one piece trunk floor would've been a better choice. And like TankmasterJ said about his recommendation, I wonder if the one that is already notched with rails might be an even better way to go. Probably is. But, I was trying to fix things on my tight budget , since I got a decent deal on a drop in trunk center section. I probably spent close to or more than the $300 for the one piece trunk floor, buying all the fill / drop panels and tank supports. But it might have saved a bunch of time and aggrivation using the one piece setup.
