never pesonally tried it.. but i was told to add heat and then pound it in with a 3lb mini sledge....
only reason i havnt tried it... im scared the heat will make the frame weaker due to it bein brittle...

I just ran a 94 Caprice and I tilted it not at the crossmember either. It was nasty hard the back was 22 inch Humpplated and double dimpled and only 13 inches to the bottom of bumper and rolled perfect... I have tried to get pictures on here by I can't...

when i dimple the humps in like that i just use a 3lb hammer, no heat. works fine and helps alot on the weak humps. I have heard of guys doing it to the whole frame but by most rules around here u cant do the whole frame

Make the sway bar mounts out of angle iron and a plate and weld it to the bottom of the frame... Read in the GRAY area of the rules...

Is a 80's El Camino considered a "car"? A buddy has one he is going to scrap and I have permission to derby it. i mean, they are A-Body cars, sharing the frame with the malibu's and monte's. i know that i will most likely run into trouble at the derby but hey, i've never seen one run, and wanna give it a shot

Do you tilt these like you tilt the fords or is there another way of tilting them?
