Drilling a couple holes went well.  I was nervous to drill into 1/4" steel without a drill press, but the bit catching only broke my wrist a couple of times.

Now the crossmember has to cut and pasted/welded to fit my frame.

The only reason I even get to work on the car today is that plastic resin glue needs a good 24 hours to set to hold a curve.  In cars, you can never have too much horsepower.  In woodworking, you can never have too many clamps.  Oops, I see a spot near the bottom where I can still fit another clamp.  Gotta go.
