Mr. Shop foreman, could you please tell your worker that he is doing a great job. I know you have the ball and chain on him. But remember worker's need to be able to stretch their minds so they will put out better work for you. Lol
just a little off the back and sides please

I'm not coming to visit - your shop Foreman frightens me.
More than any wasps you may have.
Is his last name Gambino?

I don't know how much difference it makes but I made my front torque boxes longer:

I made those from 14 gauge sheet metal. I just figured that going to the torsion bar crossmember might be more rigid.

I'm not sure if that area even sees any stress; if it does, I suppose anything helps........ in this case, that factory piece was smashed pretty good and the torque box really helped with the fix. I may have replaced the piece if not for the box........
unrelated to the point, I also try to mimmick factory assembly methods where I can; I try to keep all the mounting tabs and edges clean, rather than run beads of weld around everything

I can see the appeal of the factory appearance. Some really want that.
I’ll never see 200 mph on a NASCAR track with any of my cars. I just figured I’d run my torque boxes to what made sense to me. Those rear boxes you have there look cleaner than my hand made ones.

Who is going to see them? Are they doing their job? FUNCTION OVER "PURTY"
eldubb did ragtop Camaro, undercarriage braces etc... TOTAL MASTERPIECE, shame no one will see it, the guy that owns the car needs to put it on ramps with mirrors to show the work Mark did, which is over engineered too.

True & true!!
"I didn't clean up before coming in last night, hope the boss ain't pissed"
Maybe your boss is an unreasonable prick! He will probably write you up with HR and place you on PIP (probationary improvement program). You'll be evaluated every month on your performance. When does your interview with the PIP coach happen? The first thing to say is "I know my Weingarten Rights and request representation as I feel this interview may result in disciplinary action".
I'm so glad I'm retired and NEVER have to hear those words again!
