EVIL1 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I installed the sub frame connectors and welded up the torque boxes when I did the 8.8 conversion. Thought some of you would like to see. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0828.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0839.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0844.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0832.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0833.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVIL1 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Of coarse I painted them with POR15 to prevent rust. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0848.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0851.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/IMG_0858.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVIL1 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Lowers were very easy to install,,,,but more drilling. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0563.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0562.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0560.jpg Then I removed them so I could weld up the boxes. First I sanded the paint from all the seams that I wanted to weld. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0564.jpg Then start welding,,,this wasn't easy. Pretty limited space and the hot sparks didn't feel good. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0582.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0580.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0569.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVIL1 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Then I painted everything with POR-15 rust preventative paint and put the battle boxes back on. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0592.jpg New exhaust hangers and pinion snubber for the solid. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0593.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/HOSTIL1/Solid%20Cobra%20Rear/IMG_0594.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
