Been watching this one, and it is really turning out nice. Your attention to detail and fab skills is what separates this car from the rest. Too bad most will never notice or appreciate the time and skills required. Keep it up!!

The driveshaft/extra crossmember is a fantastic idea and should help give your car roll cage like rigidity with all the extra supports you have installed to shore up the flimsy unibody! I also installed the subframe connectors/ torque boxes in my Challenger without any drivetrain installed. I'm not sure how the factory did this but I am sure it will lessen any amount of frame deflection and movement once the drivetrain is installed.... My car will be put on an alignment rack and setup for optimism performance so I am sure factory specs won't work for me......

I know for one, I APPRECIATE the time you take to show your work! It sure helps guys like me with there build.
Say Pat, can you tell me why your putting the torq boxes in now without the weight of the motor? Don, I did install the frame connectors when the car was complete and on the ground, and with the frame connectors installed I didn't see any problem with adding torque boxes when the car was on the rotisserie. It is so much nicer welding right side up instead of upside down ;-) Thank you! Pat

I am very happy with the way the crossmember driveshaft loop came out and considering the modification I made to the factory crossmember I think it added a lot more rigidity to the frame. Thank you!

I personally ignore this thread for periods of time so that I can spend more time looking at more pictures and updates. The work you do is amazing, your creativity and attention to detail are out of this world. I will be both happy and sad when this build is done!

Cannot wait to see the finished product. This is one of the best threads Moparts has ever had, and the car is certainly going to be one of the nicest anywhere.
