With the new platforms the down tubes can now be installed in a vertical manner. We re-located the base position 2" further in to do this.
The forward tubes can now be test-fitted for good placement.
In this position the dash pad can still be taken in and out of the car.
While I was holding the forward tube in the proper position, Ruben tacked the upper end in.
Then the front of the forward tube tacked in.
After I did some final checking of fitment, Ruben fully welded both ends and middle of the forward tubes.
Ruben leaves Tuesday to go back home to Stuttgart for a month.
He will have fun trying to convince his friends that we converted a Targa into a Coupe.
Safe journey Ruben.
