ANyone got a website or company that sells boxing plates for the frame? Or how to do it myself.

Make templates out of cardboard, and get to work!


I'm going to do my 70' GTO frame that way. It needs to be braced and narrowed in the back, and the front crossmember needs to be modified for the 6L motor for the oil pan and A/C compressor.

Is it best to do it like the convertible frame was boxed with the plate wrapping over the top and bottom of frame or welding them on the edges of the frame?

I ask if anyone sell them because I saw someone who had bought them with holes and I would like them with the holes in them and I don't have the tools to cut the holes..

I don't believe anyone does....

If you've got a drill, you can make holes. A hole saw attachment isn't that expensive.



I'm welding mine to the edges. The wrap around look is kinda welfare in my opinion. Should look like one smooth piece whn its done.

I will have them made at a waterjet place.
