Stang + Welding this Summer

[BlueSaph95GT]

Planning to get all my fabrication/welding required stuff done in one shot this summer.

Here's the list:
Subframes
Wild Rides Battle Boxes
MM 6 pt Roll Bar (Don't need it yet, but I would like to do all the welding in one shop trip)
Driveshaft Loop (Same as above, but I figured it would be a good time to install one for the future)

Does anyone have any other recommendations while I have the interior stripped of carpeting? The plan is to eventually be running a 363 Dart/Boss block setup, so I want to have the chassis stiffening in order before that happens. Suspension is next...will be doing that late summer or perhaps at the same time if funds allow.

seems like a complete list to me. as i'm sure you know, get full length subframes with seat brackets.

You don't need to weld the battle boxes in. They are just as strong if you just bolt them in, and you don't run the risk of getting coroded metal in that area, and you don't have to sand all that nasty rubber coating out. If you have ABS, the speed sensor wire runs right through the middle of where the battle box mounts. Wild Rides tells you to drill a hole somewhere else in the body for it, but I can't find another place to run it. You have to drill a one inch hole through both plates of the battle box to fit the wire through. Then just use a ton of RTV to hold it in. Also, you don't want to weld the driveshaft safety loop in either. In order to meet Tech, it has to be 6" or less from the tail of the transmission. You want to be able to unbolt that later down the road to make it easier to take your transmission out. Other than that, it sounds like you have everything covered, except welding the tubes to the pumpkin.
