Well after several months, $ and patience they are done. Brad has a set - hopefully he will post some better pics of the layout. Please see http://engmanparts.com for details

Mark nailed this kit EXACTLY like I envisioned. I first did a crude stiffening like this in one of the first 9146 conversion cars I built back in 1995. It totally changed the dynamics of the car with the 6 in it. When you get on the gas in a 2.7 and up 9146 you can feel the chassis twist up like a loaded spring. With my crude kit in place the car didnt have that feeling. It also helped slow down the top squeek and made the windows fit better...LOL
I'll have install pics and a write up for the main BBS late Monday night. The kit Mark shipped to me is ready for install on Monday. As far as not needing a cage... the cage is for safety. Strength is a by product of what gets built for safety. I honestly believe that this will be stronger than a production type cage where you are limited to a certain number of pickup points. This covers a lot of real estate along the frame rails. Great job Mark. Cant wait to start selling them. B |
