Goober Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ok here is the deal. By the end of next week i will be done rebuilding the front frame rails, sub frames, and the extra ladder like system with the sub frames to make the car extra stiff. I am also going to rebuild the transmission tunnel to accommodate a 4l60e with room to spare. I will make and out line around the tranny with 1x1 square tubing and then build over the tranny with the same 1x1 to give it strength and i will add a back bone out of 1x3 that will go up to where the hood latch is and make a suport there to make a triangle around the engine bay. The hole system will tied in from the front frame rails the the rear frame. I do want to know, do you think this will be a good way to go or should i rethink the hole thing. I am open to suggestions. I for got to tell yall that there will be an 8 point cage in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yes, if I were going to make a transmission tunnel, I would create it from square tubing, and then sheet over it with sheet aluminum or steel. Looks like you're on track. Triangles are your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 thanks monkey. I will be making it out of steel sense i dont think nhra will allow aluminum floors plus if i hit something in the road i dont want a hole in my foot because of a weight savings of 10lbs aluminum floor.
