It was not a high speed crash. The guy behind my son was looking left and thought my kid took off to the right so he hit the gas to pull up.. Ive been hit like that before a long time ago. But that was a company truck. The guy nor my son were injured.

Yea I am still dealing with the insurance company so I didn't want to take it apart yet to see the actual damage. I found a rear bumper reinforcement OE used on ebay for 58 bucks and free shipping. So I see that it is a bolt on part so thats good. From under the car you cant see that it bolts...

1250 is the lowest I can go if anyone wants it

Here is the video

If you're attaching an engine that weighs 600 lbs and the most you can realistically save is 22 lbs (that's if you could halve the weight of the factory unit) with an unproven design of unknown strength and durability, then as said above - why bother? But - you said you have extensive skills...

Almost like a real life Daisy Duke

Thanks Dave and your welcome, yea that picture does appear to be taken at moparfest… but I just found it posted on FCBO yesterday so I figured I would post it. I know Daves GT well, and briefly spoke to him in person a couple of times. The story is really amazing how he got that car. Tell us...

I’m more surprised his fairly young daughter is also retiring. I don’t really follow pro drag racing so I may be missing some old news though.

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...
