Just wondering if anybody has got pics of their method of bracing the shock towers for a front coil over conversion.

The braces have to be tied into a cage or they'll be useless.

You can't really see where the shock tower ties in but its just like one of the above pictures. A snout bar without a cage can be very easy and be very effective. I bought my car in '86 and it was done a long time before that. There's no telling how many thousands of runs on that frontend.

Mine are welded to the front runners of the cage.

Thanks for the pics guys. Has anyone braced them from inside the wheel well. Also, forgot to mention I have an 'A' body with a 6 point cage.

I would recommend adding a couple bars to make it a full cage and then attach the front support bars to the cage.
here's mine

Here is a car I just finished. It has Bob's Pro fab K-member and coilover kit. Bob even supplied the pre-bent tubing that fit perfect.
