Once I got the boxing plates welded in, it was time to set the car to the ride height I thought I wanted, get the frame level, and start laying out the frame for the new cross member. I went with a Paul Horton welder's series mustang 2 cross member. I'd highly recommend them. Very high quality at a great price. Once I got the cross member fit to the frame, I welded it on. Then I had to weld the upper towers to the frame. I messed this up the first time and had to redo them. I had them too far out and I would have had too much camber and it would have ate tires I'm sure.
