What about the section that runs just in front of the seats?
The reason i ask is because i am doing the longs (because they are shot) and was wondering about side/side. thanx T |

for a street car, yes, keep that section, if anything, it would help with a side impact.....on cars that get a full cage, that section is often removed.... |

I wonder if anyone has done anything "different" under the car?
What about boxing in the longs from below, and that would also provide some nice jack points - makes sense in my mind. I am sure someone has done this before??? thanx. T ps freezing I emailed you and see you in Cobourg for the Canadian thing in August? |
