These and the frame connectors look great. Just like factory.

You should invest in some front torque boxes too.

Getting the brakes ready first time at power coating all in the prep, bit thick on the front but OK Baer 6 piston 14" pro front ,4 piston wilwood rear 8 3/4 355 with Torsion tru trac.
Not big on the Baer rears as they have Aluminium hat's rather than steel also the Wilwood has a better emergency brake setup.

That's a nice looking dash!

Is that a kit or did you fab it?

 

[HEMIB]

Had to make it from scratch after a few attempts at making an insert with fibreglass I ended up welding a long piece of sheet metal in then mounting a sheet of carbon fibre from the rear
