Making my own SFCs with "new" design..input please.
Making my own SFCs with "new" design..input please.
New as far as I know anyway. What I'm going to do is use 2 lengths of square tubing per side. I havn't decided if I wanna use 1.25" or 1.5".
They'll be welded together, both weld to the same place on the rear subframe. They'll go up the body, stiched on to it every few inches. But, when it gets to the front subframe one will split off in a Y and they'll weld in at 2 different spots. I might even tack on another support leg, making a K shape. I'll make a straight piece up to the front of the subframe near the tranny bellhousing, while the offshoot of the Y will go to the very rear of the front subframe.
Opinions?

"American made baby. 100% American iron. The muscle among the masses. My hero. Yep, you can take your ergonomically designed, space age, computer controlled, 4 door, cup holding map lighted split double wishbone split fold down retractable cargo covered moon roof piece of transportation and keep it. For I have felt the thunder. And I know the difference!"

Just copy everybody elses designs. The "K" sounds like a little too much. The "Y" design is probably the best. This is what I'm gonna do too. But I'll just copy the aftermarket.
