Well I still have a lot to do on the 68 but I kind of got going on striping out the SRT-8 and now I have it braced to start chopping. I bolted 1/4" plates to the seat belt locations in the rear of the car and to the door jamb where the dash sub assembly fastens. I then welded some 1"x1" .083 wall steel to connect the front and rear so that when the upper part of the body is removed the center won't sag. I ran two verticals from these bars down to the seat belt bolt up on the rocker to keep the upper bar from bowing up or down. Lastly I tied them together side to side to keep them from spreading.
I also put a cross tie from rear shock tower to tower to keep them from rolling inward.
