Just a quick update, I put the new subframe under the car today with the motor and headers for a final mockup. Everthing lines up nice!
I just need to have my welder over to final weld the motor mounts. and then I disassemble everything from the subframe, have it powdercoated, and put it all back together!

I'm going to short circuit my keyboard one of these days from drooling over this thread. Great job Phil! I can't wait to see more updates from you, and to start seeing your car around at some New England events!

Now that I have confirmed that everything aligns, I (again) removed the subframe from under the car, put the motor on a dolly, and started stripping all the components off of the subframe.
Speedtech sent me some additional gusset supports for the shock mount area (I believe they were getting some deflection under heavy road racing), so once I have it stripped, my welder will be back over to weld the gussets and final weld the engine mounts (they are currently just tacked in place).
...then off to the powdercoater and FINAL frontend assembly!

I have been thinking of getting those for my car. What about backup lights? Do you lose them? Car is looking great!

The engine mounts on the subframe have been final welded. We also added guessets to the upper control arm mounting area that Speedtech had sent me. I believe they were getting some deflection in this area during road racing.
It is off to the powdercoaters on Monday!
