Thought I would start this thread over,
I am installing Brad Mayeur's Longitudinal clamshell kit. It should make the car MUCH stiffer. Specs: 3/32 thick, plug and seam welded to the existing longs, and ties into the suspension console Mark Attached image(s) ![]() |

I'm doing the same thing right now. I got my stiffeners from Partwerk of Chicago. Actually had no problem from them, but that was several years ago.
I have Osphoed the inside of the longs twice, should be coated good. I plan to Por-15 the outer long after I do the same repair as you before the stiffener goes on and Por-15 both sides of the stiffener grinding off any welding spots. I wonder if it would be a good idea to tack on both sides and then alternate welding from side to side to avoid warping. I am leaving the targa on and doors closed as much as possible. My door gap is good now. Floor pans next. Does it ever end? Ole dad in Indy |
