This is a tremendous fabrication job... If you are seriously looking for fabrication suggestions on a forum then you are doomed already.. I have been building customs and classics for 25+ years and have never heard anyone capable of doing work like this say “I’m trying to figure out a way” and not even 2% into the project yet. Gather yourself, be realistic , get realistic QUICK.

With all due respect you’ve done this 25 years which means you had to start somewhere. This is my somewhere. This is the line of work I want to get into, people awd Honda civic hatches all the time. Why not a Kia? I might have questions now but that doesn’t mean I’m clueless. Like I said before I know it’s a huge challenge but this is something that could be huge for the Kia boys so why try to stop me before I even try? I’m up to $400 in g37 rear suspension parts I just need to go pick them up locally. This is by no means my daily driver. I drive a 1.6t optima. This is strictly a roller because I love the body so much and want to be unique. Plans are to get the rear end swapped so I can turn this into a one of a kind drift hatch. I would appreciate any pointers you have for fabricating a bracket for the g37 rear to fit on. its fair to say I would need to add extension points from the body to make it fit. If so would it be easier if I cut out the rear mount points on a g37 and weld those on the Kia or would a custom fab part be absolutely necessary?
