Default Installing Torque Box Reinforcements

I thought I had found a step-by-step thread on installing the torque box reinforcements on this site somewhere, but I can't find it now. Anyone know where it is?

I know where all the pieces go, but I remember on the later models some cutting is required, and I was just wanting to get an idea on that before I get started in the next week or so.

Perfect, thank you.
I'm putting in full length sub frame connectors, max Motorsports Extreme Duty weight jacker lowers, and baseline street outlaw uppers at the same time, so I just wanted to do it all at once.

It won't be a basic bolt on gt for long 😉

I had 700rwhp in my last 04 gt and launched plenty of times never damaged the torque boxes. These arn't fox bodys that rip out.

I appreciate the input, but I already have them, so might as well put them in. A little extra insurance never hurt, right?

If you have them do it, not for the shade tree mechanic though.....it's a big job so make sure you have a reputable welder who has experience doing it.
