Doug, now take the stock drag link back out and send it back to Bob, cut the center out, and weld in a CM tube. Saves another couple pounds... Bob's work looks VERY nice.

I was wondering what you guys did to your stock k-members and what you would recommend. Pictures would be great. I am currently building a 74 duster into a drag car and am looking for ideas to what to do with my stock k member. I will most likely becutting the motor mounts off and cutting the k member and boxing it but just wanted to see any other ideas that have worked well for others.

Thanks




from the looks of it youve removed enough weight already!?!

Wait a Minute... The steerings on the wrong side... Looks good, but how is the pan clear...



with all this room i made a special pan. the base is flush with the bottom of the K frame & holds 10 litres which i think is 12 quarts. no running out of oil for me. engine fitment is REAL easy.

When it guts to this point (above) I have to wonder what the point is of keeping any of the front portion. The only purpose is to mount the stock strut rods. Why not use a tube from one side to the other with tabs for a heim-jointed strut rod ??
