(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) gents I need your help. I have been busting my arse on this ride and welding in reinforcement brackets that I can no longer close my doors. Tried cutting near the lift points. Car jacked up doors work car down doesn't work. Please offer guidance and personal experience as the car before opened and closed without issue
Thank you : (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Thanks for all the input and direction.
The pecker test is the best and worst. I will not mess around and purchase the kit from tangerine racing. I will remove all rocker brackets. Do I need to remove the one on the back? Will explore further on the lower rockers. Thanks fellas and keep the tips and advice coming. I won't get through this without you, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

I won't get through this without you, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I'm in Petaluma and in the process of chassis stiffening. If you'd like to swing by and take a look at the Tangerine braces in action, PM me and we can meet up. I've also added a feature that allows me to run the brace with the doors on the car. I didn't invent it, gurus like RickS and Jeff Hail have been doing it for years. You can see some detailed pics in my Build Off thread, too. Note that Chris Foley (Tangerine) has plans for an update to allow the doors to stay on. Check w/him on when that may be available. Else you can do something like I did. Chris |
