While I was attempting to adjust the doors, I noticed that there was still some flex in the door posts. I decided to add a brace from the dash bar down to the transmission tunnel. This was something I had already planned to do and it seemed like the right time. It was made of bent 18 gauge steel and bolted to piece of angle iron that was welded to the trans tunnel.
There are more braces planned that will tie the dash bar into the new bar I put in behind the firewall. This will eventually form a truss like structure that should be very ridged. This brace helped a bunch, though and it will be hidden behind the console. It looks like it might be a good place to mount the relay and fuse block, too. Should make it easy to access.Last edited by Hotrod46; 12-11-2018 at 11:13 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
