      68-72 chevy Abody front chassis brace

      I have for sale,made to order front chassis brace
      For 68-72 Abodys

      The main tube is made of 1.25x.125 wall dom tubing mandrel bent.
      The straight tube is 1.250x.125 wall dom.
      The four mounting tabs are 3/16 thick shock tabs. All fixture mig welded and includes hardware.
      You must drill two top holes on the frame and dril and tap the crossmember 1/2-13
      These come in at about 11lbs. Total. Comes unpainted.
      THANK YOU.



      $150.00 PLUS S&H.
      On a side note,its best to set this up on the frame with the weight of the car on its wheels and transfer punch the hole for the best fitment.
      I make these at home with my hossfeld bender and 220volt 1phase millermatic 35.



      Please...also no lowball crazy offers of $50.00,$75.00 the tube cost money.
      I make these at home.
      Im not one of the vendors that has a buttload of money to buy lengths of tube at a discount price.
      thank you guys.
      Not being a jerk.btw.

      No.
      This one got another tube welded to it because its going on my car,and is the prototype for the fixture i made.
      The production one wont have it due to cost.
      Will post pics soon installed.

      Yes,thats marks bace.
      His is a little on the heavier side,it also cost more than mine.
      A good bace though.
      My brace is a little wider,and the mounting tabs come up to the top frame horn and hole.

      Im taking orders now guys.
      Get your abody braced up for that next autocross or road race day.
      We will also be making a weld in tube frame brace kits made of the same 1.250 dom .095 wall for weight saving. And a tubular trans brace for t56's.
      Keep an eye out fellas.

      Yes.
      I posted a picture in the pay it foward section.
      I needed someone with a 66-67 to make the fixture


      The 68-72 fixture is already made.
      Those are $85.00.

      The 66-67 center to center is wider.

      Heres some pics of the rear brace.
      They just need finish grinding and sandblasting,and are ready for shipping.
      They have 10mm wide slots to give plenty of room for the stock 5/16 bolt size(which need to be a little longer)or drill out to 3/8.
      A note.
      The bolts come up from the bottom,nut goes on top of brace fork.
      Forks are waterjet cut and tube is dom steel.
      $85.00 plus shipping

      The brace reduces flexing.
