Hey Lance, thanks for the q's. Yes there is plenty of wiggle room to custom fit it to each car. Considering the wide range of tolerance from the factory and each car's 40+ years of abuse we decided to make this a weld-in kit rather than a direct bolt in. Where the tubes connect to the frame will require a little bit of trimming, and on the floor mounts, those need to be welded to the main bars leaving room to compensate for location and different bushing height.
The G body is a car we're working on making a kit for, their frames are as flimsy as A bodies. The big issue with them is the floor, as you know which isn't designed at all for this sort of thing. On G Bodies the frame gets tucked up between the floor and rockers. On my wagon there are areas where my floor board is lower than the frame rails, I would assume the Montes (and other 2 door G body cars) are similar. Without creating ground clearance reductions or cutting into the floor these cars create a bit of a challenge. We're using my wagon this month as a test bed to develop a couple other new products we want to launch and will be looking at frame bracing alternatives while we're in there. Hang tight, we'll be sure to post it when we've got G body product ready to roll.
