Ok, here is my plan. I have the MM full lengths, bare steel (didnt wanna pay extra). I am going to tape off the areas to be welded, spray them down with a few coats of rustoleum spray paint (i am taking color suggestions, i am thinking black but red would match the car... who cares, noone but a mechanic sees em anyway, right?). After all that is said and done and I am ready for the do-it-yourself (sans lift) I am going to jack up the front end, slide both tires under ramps, and jack up the rear from the pumpkin (making sure it is level) and start the welding, after I clean the undercarriage and weld off any deadener that is in the area. Does this sound good? Is there anything Ihave forgotten or am overlooking? Measure twice, cut once, or ask 10 times before you do it, then do it. I want to make totally sure so i dont fug anything up. Oh, also going to be swapping the 4.10's in the same day, hopefully doing it all this weekend (if all goes ok). Then its off to the bar

Use 3-M weld-thru primer before and after welding to keep away corrosion.

Undercoating can add a lot of weight and make the car look like a dirty diaper on the underside. Just use some judicious paint and you'll be cool.
