Turned out excellent.

 :o  I'm impressed!  This car is going to be well protected from rust with as far blown apart as she is.

I knew that I needed to brace the car in preperation for the replacement of the front clip, and possibly the entire roof!

1st I added bracing to locate the front half of the roof.
The bracing goes all the way down to the frame jig and is welded only at the jig.
This way if I decide to replace the roof I'll be able to lift the old off, and put the new on.
The bracing will locate everything. At least thats the idea!

I made this locating mount for the rear frame rails.
It has a 1" inch diameter pin extending out and locating in the spring mount hole

The front part of the rear frame rail is located by a 1" pin that extends up out of a cross bar I have on the jig.
If you look closely in the bottom of the rail you can see the pin extending out of the alignment hole that are in the rail
