More weight just for you Brennan!
Here's a pic of my clearance cut. Wouldn't need to clearance it at all if I hadn't modified the core support to work with the wedged subframe.
Made a template and then killed another shelf to make it. I love electric shears.
Went a little overboard welding...but overkill is perfect in my book. Had about an inch overlap on what was left, so I fully welded the top and then welded the bottom as far as it followed the straight edge. It's super strong now. I will weld in the rubber isolator mounts once I get a pair...mine are MIA.
Radiator (3rd gen) & fan (Volvo something) fit like a glove now.
Also ended up getting a pair of door skins locally. Got a good deal on them and I'm gonna try it myself. Gonna need some youtube research. haha

That bottom pocket you made - going to put any drain holes in it? Looks like a spot where crap would collect - and rust out....

Always felt like the core support was a weak area. In a round about way you have killed of some of the flex there. Should help in the turns(lol).

Looking good, it's nice to see the update.
Wow, welding to close the gap between the door and quarter panel.
It looks like it turned out well. That is the after picture above the just welded pic?
Keep up the good work.

That's the before pic. The lens distortion doesn't show the gap all that well, but it was far too much on the top and bottom of the driver door. And that's right where you'd see it every time you opened the door handle so I knew it would drive me nuts. Passenger side is better, but just needs a little correction at the top by the A-pillar & fender and the front at the bottom by the rocker. Goodmark is garbage.
