How are you going to insure and guarantee the integrity and safety of the piece you're going to make? realize if it breaks....law suit to more then you could afford

It seems like you could use a couple existing holes to align the subframe and then weld other parts for strength.... I don't know the specifics of how much of the rear needs to be removed to make room for the subframe though.
