Snow Ball #2 - 72 Swinger

wish I`d thot of plating the crossmember a little. too late now!


yea, the factory plated the front sub frame, in the down turn (top of pic)
then to save on material, depended on the floor, spot weld to keep from flexing.

I had a Demon(4 speed)
every time you shifted the floor would make a popping sound
pulled the carpet and most of the spot welds were torn loose..

anyway, with the connector and plate attached to the trans sub frame,
floor removed,
i could make the sub frame move
so, added a( 2" x 3") x 2" metal to go between the connector,cross member, and front sub frame.

to tie it all together.. :burnout:

then plated the rest, left clearance for the emergency brake cable, in case we ever have to remove/replace the cable.

trying to get away from
adding a roll bar> street STOCK look
at first glance... lol
