Be sure to add the 4 torque boxes when you add the sub-frame connectors. You may want to consider putting in a lower radiator support while your under there too.

I set mine back enough to clear the radiator tank on my '68. It's easier to put in that way, less intrusive and can be removed pretty easily in the future should the need arise.

You can see it tieing the bottom of the front frame rails together down in there just in front of the fan belt



Sorry to hi-jack, but do you have details on this engine compartment brace? Materials,etc.? Often thought of building one for my BB A-body



It's just some angle iron, DOM tubing and a small piece of steel plate at the cowl. Only had to drill a few holes on the cowl pinch weld. Other than those, it bolted on using exsisting bolts.

While not visible in that previous pic, there are also under fender braces and sub-frame connectors from US Cartool.

My factory front shock towers had started to break at the few spot welds that were there, so I welded all that back up as well.

While it's beyond what most people want to get into, it really has transformed the car's chassis.
