Upper torque box reinforcements

[90blue5.0]

Does anyone have the plans to make homemade upper torque box reinforcements?

I emailed Rick91GT about this a few days ago. I think he has some in the works, but it's gonna be a while before they're ready. I've seen some on Ebay, and I think UPR makes some as well. Welding up the seams is an option as well. I'm gonna wait a while and see what Rick comes up with.

I have the Wild Rides uppers. They were the inventors of the original lowers.

No one with plans to build them in the garage though?

You can just buy a set and have them bolted in or (even better) welded in. It prolly will cost more to have the welding done than the set will cost. It is just curved 1/4 steel. You weld the re-enforcement to the seam and it becomes fairly rock solid for a low cost. Might as well have upper and lower done if you are doing any. Most people (like me) will buy the part and pay someone to do custom welding such as subframes or jacking points both of which I am having done soon. I would do my boxes too except I am still running Stock N/A cobra motor. Not much HP coming out to tear apart a seam.
