1967 Cuda FB project

This morning I took some measurements of the wheels I want to fit under the back of the Cuda. Did some measuring and concluded that I need to move the frame rails in approx. 5 inches on each side. Looking at the hump for the diff and shocks the sheet metal has too many strength ribs and bumps to mount flush with the rails. So, this piece along with the center trunk floor will have to go. I will replace it with a new piece with properly positioned strength ribs and bends to clear the rails.
First thing is to remove the cross brace for the shock brackets. First thing is to grind the flanges lightly so the spot welds show up better. Then grab the spot weld cutter and go to town. I drill a pilot hole first for the cutter so it doesn't wander . Using a big screwdriver to pry a little as I work my way along the piece of metal I am removing. If you take your time, you can actually remove pieces without destroying them in case you want to reinstall at a later date.
I got the shock support out. Look at all the junk trapped in there over the years.
