Hey,
I just wanted to share a bit of good news, good to back.....:SNSign: . Anyhow, I have been doing a bit of work to my ride and I have decided to go all out on the chassis stiffening, since my foxbody feels like billet......cheese
. Anyhow, I have MM subframe connectors, MM G-Load brace, MM Strut tower brace and Snow Performance rear shock tower brace, so my car feels pretty solid. However, recently I came up with a wicked idea, after looking at a picture of Cobra R undercarriage in Kirchenbaum's Mustang Bible. Anyhow, since convertible stangs have that cool X-brace that ties the K-member to front rad support and in the back to the chassis rails, I though what the heck why not add one to mine
. Well, got my brace from junkyard, and guess what, it is more like two V braces tied by bolts at the K-Member. So I made my own brackets, to tie the front V-brace to rad support and
wow, much better steering response and road feel...you have gotta do this! Anyhow, I was all chipper and gung ho from this little development, so I wanted to attach the rear V-brace as well, but guess what? My G-load brace interfered with the mounting.....
. So, in the best DYI tradition, I hacksawed the brace and connected the front K-member to the subframe rails, running it underneath control arm mounting pads. Guess what?
Dayum, now this is the cat's meow....The car finally feels like a solid billet of metal, kind of like a 90's modern car instead of a 70s economy chassis. This $50 mod is probably the best mod since the subframe connectors....I will try to get pics sometime if I can get them
