After welding and grinding seam sealer was applied to all seams |
 |
Every where there was a joint, more seam sealer |
 |
Even underneath |
 |
The new torque box was sand blasted and primed with weld through primer before installation inside and out.
|
 |
Everything was sealed That was moved or blasted.
|
 |
Including the seam on the passenger side where the small repair was done.
|
 |
While it was all apart, I figured I would add in the Total Control Sub Frame Connectors.
|
 |
And of course Shelby under ride traction bars, which by the way will not fit as they are supplied, you must either cutout the center of the mounting plate and use longer U bolts or as I did cut the tabs off the original mounting plate.
|
 |
Set the bars up underneath and tack weld them to the original spring plates.
|
 |
And remove everything so it can welded properly, in my opinion this is the only way to go.
|
 |
The front mount for the traction bar was tack welded to the rear of the sub frame connectors in the correct position under the car, then removed forproper welding.
|
 |
Everything was then reassembled back under the car, (a perfect fit Mark might add).
|
 |
An then the sub frame connectors were welded in in the back first.
|
 |
And then the front, after measurements were taken to make sure everything was straight.
|
 |
A nice clean setup done this way.
|
 |
After everything was welded and cleaned up, it was sprayed with zero rust and then undercoated.
|
 |
Before the interior was put back, everything was wirebrushed, then cleaned and given 2 coats of POR 15, I intend to finish the project this spring by sandblasting the undercarriage and spraying with Zero Rust or POR 15. |
