mock them up, mark where u will be welding, clean the sfc's and the body with a wire wheel or other cleaning tool, weld very thouroghly (sp?) on a low setting so u dont burn holes in the body

it is a hard job, expect to spend a good part of a day to do it right

make sure all four tires are raised equally or u will stiffen the chassis in an un natural position

unless u feel very confident in welding sheet metal i would have a professional do it

i have been welding for a few years and it was still a task to get it done and lookin good

i suggest getting 2 small piece of sheet metal and practice welding t joints so u dont start burning holes in ur body shell

dont forget to paint the welds and connectors when done so they dont rust

Yeah, make sure the car is suspended by all four wheels evenly...I didnt take my interior out neither did I on Brians Saleen with the install of the MM sfc...

My advise is to have someone weld it that has done it before and that is a good and skilled welder...
