Default Leave twisting frames to the Chiropractors...

Hey all-

Just wanted to give a shout out about our 1st of several new frame brace kits in the works. Available now is this one for 68-72 Chevelles/ A Bodies. It includes laser cut plates for frame rail boxing, a system of bracing bars that ties the body, rear lower control arms, and frame rails together, and it incorporates the fully adjustable and easily removable trans cross member we use on our Speedtech Pro Touring Subframe. It tucks up nicely within the frame rails and there's plenty of clearance for big exhaust. When it's all installed it adds a significant frame stiffness increase.

Here's a link to the brace kit on our website, and below are some additional eye candy photos. Check it out!

Pre Welded Mock Up...



Final Product...







Note how it triangulates the lower control arm mounts.







Note where it bolts to the floor for more stability in tying things together.

You got it Rick!

Vince- The car is all back together now so I can't really show a before and after on frame stiffness. Looking back I wish I wouldda thought of snapping those pics before we put the body back on, where were you when I needed you? Lol!
