SFCs, Seat Braces, IRS and more

I got a few pics of the car up on the rack today.  As usual, things are taking longer than planned/expected/hoped.  Torque boxes are welded, a few canceled plans (a.k.a. mistakes) are corrected, and we got the connectors and braces resolved.

My cameraman was having some technical issues, so I'll get some more pics of the torque boxes.

Biggest question resolved around the seat braces.  He's going to have to increase the slot for the SFC in order for everything to fit correctly.

SFC test fit


Torque box, sorry about the lack of focus


Rear - You might be able to see how he's wrapped the fuel lines for the welding.

How did you connect the SFCs in the back?
I've never seen how the non-thru-floor frame gets attached to the existing frame.

The SFCs aren't in yet.  I'll post pics once they're done.  The pics I did post are pretty py so it's hard to see clearly.  The SFC will go into the front sub about 4"-5", and will attach to the upward sweeping part of the rear pad (circled), passing under the rear footwell.
