I was wondering if someone could post the manufactures of some of the new after market frame re-inforcement products. I know of the obvious 10pc/swingarm kits and the original clamshells. But recently I have seen a much heavier guage clamshell kit, and an interior long/firewall kit, and it seems like I have seen 2 different types of the 10pc kit one which tied into the swing arm mounts I think? Who makes the 2 less convensional kits? And are there in fact different styles of the weld on multi-piece plate kits? Any manufactures of the above mentioned items please email me agconstruction_remodel_inc@msn.com
Thanks. Alex |

Thanks everyone for the info. So the plan for the car is (76 2.0)- to add a 5 lug carrera front suspension, five lug rear. the car will be stripped down but have spartan interior. I just bought a '70 parts car today, and I plan on swapping bumpers, doors, and transplanting misc sheet metal as nes. had planned on seam welding the majority of the chassis, and adding a cage.
the car is also recieving 9"/11" GT flares, fairly "standard" auto-x susp., some HUGE airheart calipers up-front, from the 80's i think... and 16x9f and 16x11r Goti wheels. the chassis is rusted through the top of the inner fender, and out the bottom at the firewall/floorpan. There is also some rust further down the long at the floor pan side. all of the floor pan is toast, the front and rear trunks have some spots rusted through. but very complete, better maint than most. Why not restore the '70? its actually two cars joined in the middle, and if you saw the welds.... Car will retain the 4cyl but w/ dual webers, SS/Bursch system. Eventually I will swap a 6cyl. So after all of that, Im thinking this chassis will be getting twisted a bit. Thanks for any replies! Alex |
