6.1 Hemi into 72 Demon March 2018
So this afternoon I tackled the frame stiffness. Very early on in this build I read where you needed them. I had no idea what they were but knew I needed them per the conversations. I purchased a kit from US Tool. Knowing what I know now I would not buy them again. I had to literally slash them apart and fabricate several of the parts as they did not fit well. Perhaps some have had great success with the the kit. I did not. They did not line up with each other as the angle was wrong. Maybe my car is wonky who knows. Long story short I had to cut them apart refigure the angle and reweld. All in all for what I spent on them I could have made my own. Just another lesson of many. One thing for sure if you are working pipe some pipe wrap around is essential. I took a pix of it for those that are not familiar with it.
