My 66 Chevelle P/T build

Don't remember if I already asked this, but are you planning to box the frame's center section? No better time than now. Might want to gusset/box the frame's rear axle lower arm mounting points. The front lower rear a-arm boxes tend to pull off the frame too, especially if there is a lot of sag at the front crossmember. I started my mechanical career working in a frame shop in Scottsbluff, NE and we probably pulled one A-body crossmember a month while I worked there back in the '70's. Check all the welds as factory quality back then wasn't good.

Ric,

I will be boxing the frame and welding up all of the factory seams. Great idea on gusseting the front a arm pick up points, I may add that to the list.

Cool, Mike. I meant to box the rear axle lower arm pickup points and check the welds for cracks at the rear pickup points of the front lower arms, as headers don't leave much room for gusseting in the front. I edited my first post on this to be a lot more clear. Sorry to be confusing( or just confused, lol).
