Does anyone have any ideas or pictures on how to make a home made strut brace and frame connectors? I have a 89 firebird with a tbi engine in it and I want to try to make my own stut brace and sub frame connectors. Any ideas?

 

From all the measuring you will need to to do, to prevent your hood from contacting it, and welding the steel you will buy, its cheaper to buy one. Alot of companies sell them.

SFCs on the other hand, you can do a as many of members on here have made their own.

 

There are a lot of homemade stb threads floating around too, Im planning on putting one together in the next month when school lets up.

 

Ill take a pic of my STB tomorrow real cheap (cost me about $5 or $6) and easy to do.
most steel yards have a "discount barn" where you can find cheap steel

 

muscle car review's magazine just did a homemade step by step STB as a article

 

Here's one that I made for my TBI car. Cost was $0 since it was scrap from work. It took me about 30-45 minutes to fab it up and get it ready for paint. I even tapped the holes in it so that the bolts coming up from the wheel well tightened into the mounting tabs. I have nuts on top of the tabs now that lock it down tight.
