Wow. Great thread !! Hopefully we can pick this up where it left off,
Ok so we focus on chassis stiffening with some of the available aftermarket braces or home made bracing most of the stiffening is forward in the chassis well ahead of the rear axle, seems to me this area must also require additional bracing seeing as this is where the torque hits the pavement . So other than rear torque boxes and subframe connectors are there any other areas in the back half that could benifit from gusseting or welding body seams.

While im in the thread 66-70 B bodys had some inhearant weak or flex areas due to the large side opening of the design, cracks would show up at the bottom of the A pillar at the cowl as well as the top of the A pillar in the door opening, as well as the front of the quarter panel at the shoulder of the door opening. Is stiffining the chassis going to accentuate the flex in these areas or reduce it.
Stiffening the the chassis is inevitably going to lead to the purchace of better quality shocks and bushings and higher rate springs as well as modern tires.
Is all this additional rigidity going to rear it head again in the inhearant flex zones in the chassis / body ?


Great thread
