I know its a long time ago post wise but i just started from the beginning... I was wondering why you kept the old torque boxes when yo replaced the floor? They come with the new floor and you replaced it so what did you do? Remove the new ones off the new floor to keep the old ones attached to the rails? Maybe because of them beeing already welded you preferred keeping these rather than risking to damage the frame rails when removing them? Im just wondering as im jumping into this big job myself (once again!) and have always used the new ones that are on the replacement floor. Just asking as i might have missed on something or a reason to do it that way.... Always looking for a better way to do things! Keep the work up, your getting there!! Lead. |

I dont think you are talking about the same thing as i am....
Torque boxes stay on cars no matter what you use suspension wise. I'm talking about the "torque box" not a "shock mount" the part where the front leaf spring supporting "cage" bolts to after beeing attached to the leaf, and now where the front lower tubes of the Quadra link bolts onto. You can see them in a few pics when looking at the front of the frame rails when he was replaceing the floor. They stayed on and there are no pics of them afterwards showing if he kept them or not.... Wondering? And why also? :_paranoid Lead. Ps; Hey, its nice to see a fellow Quebecker on here, where in Qc are you located? Province or Town of Quebec? Maybe we know eachother. |
Leadfoot I really don't know! I can only remember dropping off the full trunk floor and full floor pans to my buddy and he welded them up. I do remember that the torque boxes were in great shape after the car was blasted. do the torque boxes come with the floor pans for sure?

I was wondering why a few of my pics were deleted? I never deleted or moved them?
|
could be your photobucket acc......nice work steve. its been a long time coming.
|
The paint is looking awesome, congrats on the milestone

If you move them or do anything with them -- the "address" that was used to copy and paste then becomes "broken".... |
I just figured out what I did lol.
|
I'd like looking at the pictures better if you were wearing a respirator when painting.

https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/isocyanates/ Sorry Steve this is a very big topic in our industry today. Plus I'm sure you want to be able to enjoy this bad ass car for years to come. Keep up the great work but let's be safe as well!! :grouphug: :thumbsup: |
That's a friend of mine and I tried giving him my respirator but he declined. I agree with u guys 100%. I was outside waiting for the air to clear.
