Another. I have some 1/4" cold rolled plate to make the rest.

Going to start fitting them inn today. Does anyone have any shots of how they tied theirs in? Im thinkint im going to make a couple plated that match the rear subframe rails, and just plate them inn. The front gonna be easier.

You should do a step by step with pics! That would be interesting and educational.

Here is the process I took a LOT of pictures for ya.

another

and another

the front plated welded to the subframe.

angle cut starting to fit the rear stubbs.

The fronts mocked up, and starting to tack in place.

Starting to weld it inn.

Some welds werent a grade A. but It is all 3/16 steel, and Im sure its a little over done so Im not too worried.

I still might plate the rears a bit more, but I honestly dont know if its needed.

I have it all inn and painted up, Im pretty happy W the results.

This is where I might make a side plate for extra strength,

Im gonna look over them good in the AM to see if there if there is anything I can improve on.

I would have turned the long side vertical and incorporated them into the floor pan even though they look strong mounted horizonal they will flex

Should keep the car from twisting Id hope.

This car wont be hammered on at the track very much, If I drop into where Ill need a cage, Im not gonna go any farther with performance. The 408 will be a good street brawler.

I dont know how much these will flex, I have a pressure guage on my press and it took 10 tons to get these to bend where I wanted them. I know structurally they would have been better cut into the floor pan, and set in length wise up and down, but this will be fine for now. My charger has some cheapo bold inn connectors, that have been welded inn, and they are way lighter than these. That car ran in the 8.50s. Im not worried.
