Project “Ghost Duster”, 1970 Duster Corner Carver
Before the rails can go in I needed to replace the torsion bar cross member. I bought an AMD unit and the fit was not great. Basically the width was too short by about 1/4”-3/8”. I strategically used my 30 ton press to manipulate the cross member “arch” to flatten the rail out just enough to make it fit properly. I tested the trans mount and checked the floor to arch area and all was well. It actually fit better everywhere after I gave it 30 tons of love.
Because I can’t leave well enough alone, I decided that it would be a great time to reinforce the torsion bar hexes and anchor the landing area for future sub frame connectors.
