I found one cheap, then had to do alot of modifying to it. Had to make it lower, modify the hole for the carb, make a section for the air filter to sit. Works great for the track with the hood scoop I have.

I really like what you have done so far, and what you are trying to do in general.
The only bars to frame rails I've seen are the bars that extend forward from roll cages. Is that what you have in mind? Don't know if they are still available, but XV Motorsports used to sell bars that went from the firewall to the tops of the shock towers to strengthen the shock towers http://www.xvmotorsports.com/products/detail/index.cfm?nPID=298&cid=40&cdesc=A-Body Products
Was following your posts about 2 years ago on T56 installation. How did that work out?

Beautiful job, younggun2.0! I have a few questions:
1) Is the "conduit" you made aluminum tubing, or is it something else?
2) Do you have pictures of how you arranged the interior electrics? Who makes the high voltage firewall feed-through for the coil wire?
3) I like the look of the radiator. Is it off-the-shelf, or custom?
Thanks

the radiator is a universal one from summit racing. paid 159.99 for it. i made the brackets to mount it. I also built the fan set up from scratch.
Just ran across this photo of a shock tower brace, but it runs inside the engine compartment https://1967barracuda.shutterfly.com/restorationphotobooks/430#433

here are the pics of my smoothed engine bay

A guy around the corner from me is building a 68" Dart, he did what you originally were talking about...
Just a touch of custom

Although my engine compartment is far from being finished, in these photos you can see the aluminum filler panel I made to replace the hood latch assembly. I fabbed a hood support out of aluminum rod after having removed the factory hood springs and attached switched LED lighting to the prop to aid with night time roadside malfunctions.
