    The lift and the welder have really taken the channel to the next level. Can't wait to see the torque box reinforcements go in.

    Great video and repair/reinforcement BREW2L, thank you!
    I took mine completely out and rebuilt them with some 3/16" plate so they will never fail again.

  • @trbstang
    @trbstang 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks good! I had one of mine tear a bit, so a buddy made me some reinforcement plates. I just bolted the one side in since I don't weld, but plan to get them both welded up when it gets back on the road. That is an interesting kit!

  • @seastacker8582
    @seastacker8582 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good temporary fix. Def needs the full reinforcements upper and lower long term though.
    Not sure if you did or not, but on anything with sensetive electronics it’s a good idea to unhook the battery before welded. I’ve never personally had a problem, but I’ve heard of people frying that stuff (modules, ecu’s, etc).
    Great video as always.

    I welded all the seams around the control arm mounts on the rear of my coupe. It's a pain. Doesnt matter how clean it is, the grease and undercoating that may be in the cracks and crevasses wants to come out and mess your weld up.

  • @19jody72
    @19jody72 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When they rip out at 120mph +..BAD CHIT HAPPENS! ESPECIALLY IN A CONVERTIBLE! If they are "popping" get them fixed! Happen to me in my 93 feature car headed to the US19 Dragway in Albany Georgia back in the day.. I got lucky!

  • @schwarry1

    I'm gonna have subframe connectors put on in the spring. Should these be looked at, too?

    • @robertelmo7736
      @robertelmo7736 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you are going anywhere north of say, 350hp, go ahead and put the subframes on it and the torque box reinforcements. Sticky tires and torque are what caused the problems. Way better if you do it before it gets bad. The back of my car was tearing all the way across and the rear was basically steering the car going down the road lol. Looks like crap now. Prevent it before it gets bad.
      *Very interested in this, never seen a pair of reinforcments that look like that with an arm on them? Funny story, we bought a set back in the day and a "artist" buddy of mine made templates out of carboard and we had someone make them up for us with thicker steel...think it cost me $15 lol!

    • @schwarry1
      @schwarry1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@robertelmo7736 I have over 350hp, but it's been my baby for 30 years. It doesn't see slicks or the track. I gave it an extra 100+ hp by doing the top end, and some 3.73's. I have the kit for the subframe to be safe, but wasn't sure about the torque boxes. Maybe I'll see what the frame guy says. This car only has 60K on it, but I don't want a twisted frame.

    Don’t feel too bad about the torque box’s. When I pulled rear end out of my car the drive side was only being held in by the control arm bolt which thankfully the sub frame connectors where doing their job and supporting the torque box... yea I even did a autocross not knowing that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Wait what ? they make torque box reinforcement kits .. you could have repaired the problem and made it never happen again ? or you could have added addtional supporting PLATES to the original design if you are to "cheap" to buy a kit so you instead applied a band aid to the existing poor design ? and made a u tube video to show us that you are to cheap to actually fix or modify the design ? exactly what was the purpose of this video as it was not to fix or improve anything. Shoddy temporary band aide at best .
