Curious if anyone has use the outer longitudinal clamshell reinforcement on a street car?
Did you have any unforseen down stream effects to other panels like the door jamb, or the rocker panel? Also thickens the upper flange and I'm wondering if this will cause fit issues later with the door stripping, or maybe even the cosmetic sill plates. Starting to seem like this might be a good idea for race car prep but probably not ideal for just trying to fit up replacement sheetmetal and still have OEM fits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm not in love with the additional weight either. I can keep mocking up additional pieces but thought I'd see what the collective wisdom of the forum knows. |
