My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Ok, another update. I took a break from the dash to work on the chassis, fabricating a set of frame connectors from 1.5" x 3" x.120" wall steel. I originally wanted to do 2x3x.120, but I decided I wanted to stay away from cutting the floor.
It's hard to tell in these pics, but I also boxed in the end that was cut to fit over the rear frame rails in addition to adding the extra plates to cover more surface area on the rear rails.
I also reinforced the torsion bar anchors when I was welding in the connectors, since I have 1.12" bars from Firm Feel to replace the 1" Just Suspension bars that are in there now.
I also added torque boxes to the car, front and rear.
What I
didn't do was take pictures of the installation of my Dillinger Chassis J bars and radiator support brace. :banghead: Although, you'll get to see them shortly anyway...
