So if I was building a car with no protectors, lets say a 62 imperial... LOL. What do you mean by using the body to pressure the frame? I plan on running a solid lower cradle with a pulley protector but probably isn't wise to but it to the firewall with a trans protector. I have to run a stock cross member as well. with full frame cars, in general what someone could do to use the body to pressure frame and help keep it down is this, weld front clip to doors, wait to put in core support mounts,spacers, etc. if you are allowed down bars to the frame, wait to put those in as well or at least the front ones. Pull the car somewhere that you can pull down on the front bumper, jack car up under front doors, then pull down on the bumper, some people will give you exact numbers on how far to pull down but it’s all about feeling it our, usually go until stuff starts creaking, that’s when you weld in your core support spacers and front allthread, along with down bars if your allowed them. When realeased it will come up a little but everything is now preloaded and has pressure. I did it on my caddy and did good but I had front down bars welded in already so was forced to do it at the firewall.

I just read the rules,lol Anymore that could take the better part of an afternoon. Then you have to break down what each particular rule really says or the most important part, doesn't say. Don't forget the gray areas that aren't mentioned. When all else fails, just build that way you want, show up really late and roll right thru-especially when the count is low. Oh, the friend thing....we'll save that for another day. Yes, we all know it happens! Sad.

we should just talk about pressuring, not rules or lack there of, not bitching, no personal feelings, this can be a very good thread if it stays on topic...

im not asking to delete stuff, not trying to infringe on your 1st amendment, just prefer threads to not to be full of off topic arguments and useless stuff.
