I had a great day in the garage again.I like being excited about my project again,I couldn't seem to get anything done for a long time I was working just not getting anywhere.I had strarted on this brace a few weeks ago,today I made the brackets and got the driver side bolted in.I just wanted to see what you all think about it .I'm going to rap them in vinyl and make rear side panels.

Is the only cross brace the one running across the top of the package tray?? It looks like there might be room to add another on the floor just in front of the rear lower seat cushions. I assume that you have subframe connectors installed too. I don't remember how much of the build you documented over at TAC.

The bolt in the floor is the outside leaf spring bolt, I am going down through the trunk and go across just over the drive shaft at it's highest point. you can see the subframe connector behind the seat it's orange and come's out of the rear frame and through the floor its a 2 X 3 box tube. here's a pic from the bottom.
