Finally made the rear upper shock brackets. They are built off the frame tied into the body. Everything is just tacked in and it supports the weight of the car no problem. I will box everything in and weld it off. I probably lost about 20lbs doing it like this without a shock tower.
I am going to try and have a solo all day welding party this weekend. There is alot of welding left to do on the rear before it is complete. Cage needs to be welded off also.
