Anybody who has ever tubbed a car knows that the trunk hinges become a problem after tubs are added.
We figured a solution and put that idea to the test.

Today’s project was to create an upper shock mount cross-member. The original brackets that you saw before were never going to work. I don’t feel bad about that as they were specifically designed for the front coil-overs. I had just assumed that they could work at the back also. HMMMM.

We decided that the rear coil-overs finally needed to have their mounting points finalized. We started with a gusseted and double bolted bottom mount and then moved to the upper cross-member mounting. This is another place where using clamps, taking accurate measurements and double checking are the order of the day.

Those fancy Ride-tech R-Joints are just sitting there and they needed to be put on the car. Besides this would make the car easier to roll around on its own springs. That would not happen till much later, but that was the thought on that particular day. Let’s get the suspension links in!

This project was for the upper 3rd link mount that attaches to the chassis. It was freaking hot and I got as much done as I could but the day was short.

Just binge read thru your whole thread tonight. Just awesome! Found lots of ideas to use on my 66 Malibu rebuild, but my body won't be removable. I did the same trick to my trunk hinges when I tubbed it 25 years ago, but that was for drag racing. Redoing all the suspension for autocross and track days with a similar rear suspension. Not planning to remove the stock front frame clip at this time, but your build has me thinking pretty hard, LOL. Thanks for sharing!

Nice to get a response to the work. I always hope someone can learn what I know now at a much younger age. LOL
