RE: Torque Box Enforcement
I just got off of the phone with Wild Rides and they are going to call me back within the next few hours with a price for buying/installing their torque boxes for my 93 Stang banger

RE: Torque Box Enforcement
yea, it'd be cake to make your own outta some sheet stock steel... given you had a template or drawing. If I order the Wolfe ones i'll CAD them and post the file for the stickies... but that's well down the road. Don't plan on tackling this job 'til springtime!

I just got off of the phone with Wild Rides Race Cars and they said that they will do the torque boxes for 325 including parts.... thats not too bad considering I hear of people paying more for just installation of them. around me atleast.

RE: Torque Box Enforcement
sweet, the boxes are around $150 online, but for the labor and professional welding, i'd say thats a fair deal, considering they pioneered the torque box!

RE: Torque Box Enforcement
Yup... and I have NO CLUE how but they said they can install my MM panhard bar in about two hours [&:] So total would come to about $160 for installing it. I dont see how thats possible though since the frame needs to be drilled for new mounting points, control arms taken off, shocks taken off, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. He said if I weld it in it will also be cheaper and better to so it might even cost less.
