67 Big Block K-frame Reinforcement
i have a place by me that does chemical stripping. well worth the $75 to have them soak all the old crap out of the K before trying to weld on it. i also ground and re-did out some of the worst of the factory welds and just generally cleaned it up.
cut my own plates from 1/8", and anywhere there is a gap from one bracket to the next, welded in more bracing. i also cut back the inner seam since i'm planning to go to an aftermarket oil pan, and re-welded it all the way around. added "washers", that are just 1/8" plate, to the strut rod holes and completely forgot to open up the cavity and weld the inside of the tubes. i'll be correcting that next year when i have it all out for the motor swap
