Modified Mustangs & Fords TCI Coyote install

[GPR]

I was just reading through this and noticed that you built some braces where a torque box would normally be, how would you say the structure in that area compares.. between Torque box and your bracing?

As it arrived with no bracing

With tubular braces between the frame rail and rocker panel.

I ask because I have a '67 Coupe that I am not sure if it has torque boxes or not and if I should add them or a brace similar to yours.

I would add torque boxes. We also added a round bar from the rear torque box to the front bar we added going through the floor.

I need to get you caught up on the Colt of Personality.

We even had my granddaughter helping remove the lead from the factory seam.



We added sill bars to stiffen the body

Nice work.

Those tubes that run front/rear inboard of the outer rocker, are you going to sticth weld those to the floor and outer rocker? I don't see how they are really doing anything if just welded front and rear. You give up a lot of beam strength if not stitched.
