You can see the 2 studs in this pic.

I found that assembling the front sheet metal can be a bit finicky to line everything up, and this made it easier. ..... just a suggestion, as your work looks great
Thanks, that's pretty slick. I will have to look into that. I will have to repaint my cradle anyway once I complete the condenser mount to the front so if I have to weld studs now would be the time.
