Email that guy. He is selling lower torque box reinforment kits for cheap. Email him and get a price. I just bought a set.

check out ebay for torque box reinforcements too, I got a set to my door for 25 bucks and they are better than battle boxes from wildrides.com

You can actually just run a good weld over everything on the torque boxes and reinforce them that way. Its the same as buying reinforcements but cheaper. If you dont believe me then check out Car Craft since they recommend it for Chevelles and Mustangs since they both use 4 link rearends.

If you have ripped the brackets out of the floor it is very important they are welded back in the stock location, then adding some type of support kit will help prevent any future re occurances. I weld all the seams up of the stock boxes/brackets then add my own Stainless Steel support kit that I make and designed.....

I would weld them back up and throw on a set of Ricks torque re-inforcements..I got a set from them and they were very nice pieces

The best thing to do is reinforce them before they rip off.
I welded mine(also started the car on fire while doing it ), but bought some of the battle boxes from ebay I'm going to put in this year too. You can't have too much protection.

My torque boxes in my car were totally screwed when i bought it. I had the whole torque box replaced with SSM's torque boxes but i think they went outta buisness or so i heard.

Can someone take apic of their torque boxes and tell me were they are located. I'am looking to purchase a Mustang in the near near future, like days. I would like to check out the torque boxes so I know what to look for.

Thanks
