While thinking of your endeavor, consider weight of a complete engine along with gearbox, lift forces, lateral forces, as well as the geometric design for steering and suspension, engine mount orientation for proper driveline alignment, along with tensile strength of metal utilized in the...

An image search shows that picture's been around since 2015. Not as much AI back then.

Sure, it's heavy and sometimes poorly welded, but they are strong. I'm sure you could take a lot of weight off by doing this, but how strong will it be. Application, drag cars is what I see. Others would be for special engine applications like Gen III Hemi's or other setups. I like torsion bar...

In the center, like my 1970 road runner?

lots of work to save what, 10-15 pounds maybe?.......a K frame isn't all that heavy

One issue I would see is ensuring the suspension/steering parts are correctly located for proper alignment. Another is the strength of the structure itself to withstand the weight and loads applied to it.

someone needs one of these..... and one of these.......

They are not ridiculously heavy. They are far more rigid than any tubular K member. Your front end will be stiffer with a factory unit.

Merry Birthday to a fellow '70 Charger owner!

On your pix: from what I see, your plastic bumper cover may require replacement, although I've surprised myself in repairing covers that looked worse. Inside, you have a foam absorber which if broken, requires replacement. The metal bumper reinforcement is a bolt-on part,mangled and requires...

I have the K-member out of my '67 Belvedere. Its been blasted and I had planned to seam weld it and reinforce it. Its ugly, ridiculously heavy, etc. I'd like to keep the torsion bar setup but keep thinking of how easy it may be to replicate the factory K-member in a tubular style, but that...

Certainly not a surprise, but still end of an era.

A "total loss" is an economic term. It simply means the cost of repairs is at a point where it's at the value of the vehicle minus it's salvage value. An older vehicle with superficial damage, such as a bumper, fender and hood may be a "total" since the cost of the repairs exceeds the low retail...

first!

Happy birthday Wayne Hope you have a wonderful day. :bday:

This extension moves the buckle out about 2 1/2 to 3 inches. I could make a longer extension but this was my first effort. Compared to the other side... It isn't much but it should help. I'm going to try to slip on some sort of vinyl sleeve to stiffen the belt. Ideally, I'd like it so...

An uncle of mine worked there.
