Default stang box by wild rides race cars

just wanted to let everyone who might of had or is currently having trouble finding a replacement upper tourque box pan for fox body that has torque box damage and cracking like mine did. wildridesracecars.com offers a complete upgraded replacement for $397 and they will build to your year model specs. i couldnt beleive the diffrence, its called a stang box. i hear alot of guys cutting junkyard pans out but the way i saw it was, whos to say those arent on the verge of failure. i know this is a common problem with foxs without subframe connectors. i fab my own chromeoly tubular connectors and it was an amazing diffrence when all was done. just thought i would pass it on.

Did you weld it in or just bolt it in? I had there torque box reenforcements on my 86, they fit awesome as well.

i bolted the assembly in and then stitch welded it in, that way if she ever cracked again it would be just to the end of the stitch then stop easy fix from there.
