[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1579693, member: 29141"] Is that separation I see within the floor pan? Or... It's kinda difficult to tell with those pics and the lighting. Rather than do all that fab work, you might instead try to determine the possibility of the cross-member mounting ears being reworked. Like I said, as long as the car holds an alignment and drives straight and correctly, it's much better to take the easy way out. If that mounting ear has enough 'meat' on it, you can drill a new hole in the case of a bad misalignment. In the case of only a slight misalignment, you can fill up that hole with weld, flatten it out with the flat side of an angle grinder or even a pneumatic burr, re-drill, paint, etc. etc. The time and work and money involved with trying to attack the frame rail might still have you trying to readjust that crossmember mount all the same.
