Do you have a picture of said "Rocker"?

What size plate should I use? How thick? Long? Wide?

I dropped everything off at http://www.hyperformanceracing.com/ this morning so it should be done this weekend.

 

Allen, like this?

 

Exactly like that. Look at the NHRA rule book for plate dimensions. IIRC it's 6"X6"X1/4".

 

I sent you another PM with another question. Older cars have a rocker panel that's straight up and down so it's easy to weld on a backing plate. But, on mine..... the rocker panel is contoured (Slanted), so a backing plate will be hard to weld on unless I bend it to fit. The white car that I posted, it looks like he cut the crossmember to fit the contour of the rocker panel.

Let me know what you think? Do it just like the white car?

Allen, do you have a easy explanation on how to square up the car so I can mount this crossmember?

From my understand, get the car level up on jacks. Get a plumb bob, find spots up front and make marks on the floor, then do the same with the rear crossmember 4 link holes? Something like that? LOL

Thanks for all the help, I'm not going to pick your brain since I know what you do for a living. All this time, I thought you were a farmer.

 

Actually i build airplanes for a living, but i am not going to tell you which ones . Buy the chassis engineering video and watch it over and over again. It is very good at explaining things.

 

common dick....... I aint about watching movies.

 

Why don't you just give me your address and i will come do everything for you
