I picked up a reworked 8-3/4" with alloy axles, 3.54 on a Suregrip carrier. Just finished with the subframe connectors and rear torque boxes. I also have a 727 with a bunch of upgrades. Reverse pattern manual valve body, steel front drum, Supersprag, etc. I ordered a new fuel sending unit with 3/8" lines, and will be upgrading the fuel line from the tank to the carb as well.

My older USCartool Chassis Stiffening kit came with tubular, front-under radiator brace and tubular under-fender braces that boxed in the shock tower upper mount. I also welded the shock towers to the inner fenders, as mine were pulling the spot welds through the inner fender and used the FirmFeel K-member bracing kit plus welded the seams to that and the torsion bar cross-member.

Of course I had to repaint the inner fenders afterwards, and I've since made my own Monte Carlos bar that bolts in with only 3 new howls in the cowl lip above the wiper motor.

These add-on's transformed the car.

Thanks for the tips. These things definitely are flexi flyers as they come from the factory. They can definitely use help stiffening them up.
