'71 Supercharged Hemi Demon
The unfinished front subframe, can anyone guess what it was originally from?
Dodge Caravan, which is why there are so many plug welded holes on the frame, Dodge had tons of holes in those frames for optional stuff and mounts, which were of no use on the Demon.
They also worked great to weld to the Inner Reinforcement Plate, Control Arm Mounting Plate, and K-Frame Mounting Plate. The 1/4" Plate that the Control Arm Mount Tabs are welded to, will bolt into the Rollcage and Upper Shock Mount. It is also part of the Rear K-Frame Mount/"Nut" Plate inside the Subframe.
The Subframe is 4" x 2.5", except at the Control Arm, where it necks down to 3" x 2.5" for Upper Control Arm Clearance. I still have some more work to do to it, it's far from finished, and then i've gotta clean everything up nicely. I also added a Plate from the Frame to the Wheelwell near the firewall, after browsing through some topics here on FABO, it seems that the reinforcement there is a good idea to reduce flex/twist.
Overkill? Sorry, I'm not used to fabricating stuff for cars. My experience is mostly with Plow Trucks, Industrial/Agricultural Equipment, Dumptrucks, Backhoes/Dozers, etc.
Heavy? Probably, I'll be going with a 'Glass Clip and Aluminum Heads to try and knock some weight off the front suspension. Although "Hemi" and "Weight Savings" usually don't get used in the same sentence :oops: :D
