Took it back out of the car, and check measurements, and finished the stretch.

Does any diagonal buttress pieces need to be added?

test fit, then weld.  Had to use a come along to pull the frame in as it was off about 1/2 bolt.  The rear of the car has no support beam to hold it in place.  One will have to be added.

Good point.  Stretching the cradle will give you more room for exhaust and such.  Looking good.

Why did you choose to cut the cradle rather than to repair/replace the front mounting cradle crossbar? ::scratch

Thanks for the comment, something to think about for sure.  The car had that set up and was working fine.  I just feel the bar is in the way.

Here's a link to my Aventador build thread.  Built on an '88 Fiero.  My stretch is documented about halfway down the first page.  Hopefully that shows you everything you need to do.

As far as I can tell you cut and stretch it here?

Boy I love those wheels, I wish I would have bought one of those sets when they were available.

It's great when you get parts in, it means you can get stuff done.

thanks !! I had the rims before I even had a car :) lol.  just got the rubber last month
