well, i can say, without a doubt, that torque box health is a big variable amongst our foxes.

i have seen 12 second foxes with no torque box troubles...
and then there is my car, basically stock drivetrain, with tore up torque boxes.

if i grab a set of reinforcement plates, what can i expect to pay to have a body shop repair & install them? i'll be doing the interior work, as far as removing the seat and carpet..

i'd do it myself, but i have no lift access for my own vehicle, thanks to company policies and gay management.

 

Is this a tech question? And co policies FTMFL!!!!

 

yes its a tech question.[:@]

 

what, the asking of a price part?[&:]

well, thats just it.

technically, its a question.
tech question.


see?

 

The matco tool dealer where I work races an unlimited drag radial car that runs 5's in the 1/8. He only has the torque boxes welded with no plates. The plates may not really be required. Reinforcing them would definitly be a good idea though.

Also expect to pay 3-4 hours labor if the interior is taken out already.

yah i think i'm gonna order a set of the blueoval control arms this week, they're having a deal.
looks like new headlights are on hold.

 

matt ive had alot of problems with mine even with reinforcement kits until i did whats in the video below. i made the vid for jasperstang originally and now you can view it also and maybe it will be of some use to you.

only real problem i have is the drivers side lower box. the control arm has been knockin lately, so i grabbed a jack and took a peek. low and behold, the box is messed real bad. all the seams are broken.
it doesnt appear to have done any damage to the arm bolt hole, yet.
