Getting back on topic here lol....has anyone noticed much of a difference with the outcome of the trunk after pressurizing from the package tray back? We've only done it to one car and that was the only one of those cars we've have built, so not much to compare and contrast from.

Porta power between package tray and seat bar, hump plates were already welded on and rear body mounts were done as well.

If u did then welded your gas tank protector in with the pressure still there I think it would more beneficial but I guess I don’t know that for sure

We had the car on jack stands when we did it. Measured from bottom of tires to floor before and after and ended up dropping the tires about 2" closer to the ground.... Front stretched enough to start straightening out the s curve at the firewall and also dropped the front rails about 5"...it looked like it was cut and tilted but was purely pressure.

Nice, that’s an interesting idea. About the only pressure thing we were going to do was pressure the pinion brake protector into the package trey/body, but we might have to try that.

This was the first one we did with serious pressure others before were just a simple dp pressed into the firewall. This one had 30 tons firewall forward...it was sketchy when you can hear/see it moving,creaking and popping.

With a lower cradle and mid plate (no dp). A transmission with aluminum Nerat/Ultrabell and a steel tail could pressuring the engine to the cross member work. Or do you think the transmission would still fail at the housing. Also could one get away without cutting the trans tunnel and sucking it tight around the transmission with the mentioned setup.

I really wouldn’t put that kind of pressure on a fairly stock trans. Even with a bell there is no brace on the top and bottom to keep the bell in place, would probably sheer the pump bolts off, that’s just me. But that’s also not the only way to put pressure in a car.

I usually just yell at mine and tell it that it’s worthless piece of $h!t and if it skips a beat it’s going on the first load to the scrap yard. Does the trick, engine hasn’t failed yet. Trans cracked under pressure though.

Something that gets over looked a lot when talking pressure is the fact that pressure can be applied transversely to the frame as well without the need for protectors to make it work.
