The Dynacorn Is Home

Just thought I would let everyone know I picked up the Dynacorn body on Saturday. Now that it is in my garage I have had a better chance to look it over. I want to tell you this is a very nice piece if you have never seen one. Unless you had another original along side it you would have a hard time telling it is not original. I tried to get some pictures of it but is kind of dark in my garage and the damn flash stopped work on the camera. I will try to get some soon. I did do a few things to it so far. I got the new holes drilled to do the shelby drop on the front. I am now trying to make some shock tower braces for the wheel side of the bottom of the shock towers. Read an article on it and they are supposed to really stiffen the shock towers up. Has anyone else done this?

Yep, hard to tell if it helped as mine was rusty and I did all this after replacing the shock towers. It's worth the peace of mind to me that my BB motor is sitting on stiffer towers, I also added subframe connectors to mine. Good Luck and let me know if you want to unload that stripped shell when your done parting it out!
 
Have not made my mind up on what to do with the R code as of yet. The way it looks both cars will be sitting until spring so i have all winter to figure out what I will do.

A lot of builders perform this modification to the shock towers. I had to dig pretty deep (it's a local buddy of mines car), but here's a picture of what it should look like when it's installed/finished.

I did this on mine too many years ago. I really need to start scanning in the pictures since that was before my digital camera time. :headac
 
The ones I plan on making are the ones like Opentracker showed in his posting. I am pretty handy and think i can make them with no problem. A bit cheaper than the guy on eBay is selling them for.

I dunno man..... $38 to your door is pretty cheap. Have you priced steel stock lately? If you have some steel laying around I'd agree to build your own, but otherwise you'll likely spend $20 just on the steel stock and then another couple of hours templating and cutting.
 
Have you check Mustangs Plus' website? They've done a 68 and talking with Ron B, he seemed to like it.

IIRC, Dustyrelics made his own for the '67 GT500 clone he built. He did quite a bit of extra welding and built some pretty cool brace plates. Wish I could find the pics of it.

Dave I made one phone call and had 6 pieces cut to the right length sitting on my door step when I got home tonight. Nice to have friends in the right spot. Already have one side cut out. Will get the other side tomorrow and weld them in on Friday. By the way no charge on the metal.
 
2 days and still no pics......I see tantrums in the near future.
