This is what I know about installing the Engman stiffner kit.... ZERO. OK, I lied. I know one thing; when done wrong you end up with body shrinkage. That and I've read that the car should be supported on all 4 jack points when the work is done. That's all I know so I ask Scotty (or someone with experience in doing this correctly), are any of those going on soon? I'm looking for some tips & pic's of install. Specifically shrinkage. And before Dave chimes in, I'm talking about the shrinkage that occurs as a result of welding not cold water. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Is it avoidable if I don't get the piece too hot to the touch? Is there a sequence (as in torquing a head) that the spot welds are done? What are the preferred methods of bracing and where, e.g. body and/or door bracing. Best to do on while jigged or rolling? TIA,.
