Torino 10 - Lateral-g Forums

I have done this backbone setup before and it works quite well. The front and rear susp. is tied together this way and the sills are still part of the structure. I will be running a torque arm rear susp. and dual 3" exh. so that tunnel will be full. It also allows the seats to be mounted right on the flat floor if desired.

Not that I'm bias about your car choice or anything.

Thanks for the compliments.
Thursday night was not too productive. It took over 2 hours to get the rear glass out. I want to reuse it, so being careful was the name of the game.
Got the rear floor trimmed away and raised the rails. Now I can get the Speedtech Performance torque arm into place and build the shock mounts.
Then its time to cut off the quarters and cut out the tubs. The tubs get raised about 2.5" and then widened about an inch outboard. Going to be a busy weekend.

Looks good. How are you planning to tie in the upper tubes of your back brace?

A few more pics of the progress. Will, you can see in the pic how I finished the rear of the tunnel.
The tub is raised 2.5" ,the tire is at full comp.
I found no surprises when I cut off the quarter, the driver side may be different though.
