Last night Danny came by and we attacked the crossmember. Well, to be fair, he did the all the work on the crossmember and I worked on removing the steering column, dash parts and wiring bits from the inside.
We took the previously forward-curved crossmember and made it straight across to allow for the best steering geometry with the Mustang II rack. We realized that we had the wrong 220v plug in the new shop to use the wire-feed welder, so Danny used his stick welder. This guy is a real artist. Most welders would be lucky to do such clean work with a MIG, and this guy makes it look easy.
The end result is a sweet, boxed and reinforced crossmember that is made of 3/16" plate and is smoother and stronger than the factory unit ever was.
