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. Can you elaborate?

For stockish builds I use the body to hold my frame from bellying then there's ways to run cables or chain from cage to frame that will hold nose down.

Pulling the front horns together a few inches then welding your bumper on while the rails are still under tension, will help keep the horns straight a arms forward and also help keep the boxes from tweaking/ collapsing. It's mainly done on vics but iv seen it done on mopars and a couple caddys with good results. Also another thing that can be done is to twist and pull the rear rails in, it helps tension the humps and gives you a little larger safety margin for no hump plate shows.

And minor cold bending with pressure on front clip. Pressure from Fire wall body mounts to front bumper pushing front bumper ahead. There is so much you can do just have to have porta power and creativity and an understanding of how pressure works

Ive seen mention of pressuring the rearend in the car. How does one go about this? Plated lowers against the frame, allthread shocks to the gas tank protector, allthread through the spring up into body sucked tight? What if its more of a stock show?

Opinion brake cover into the floor is what I would do, i’d Do allthread shocks

What's the best way to mount my engine and trans to prevent the block/bellhousing from breaking? I'm building an 06 vic kicker car and I'll be pressuring the front with floor chains and bottle jacks before I weld my kickers in. Since im using a 1/2" big rock style full cradle and a saddle style trans brace I'd rather keep from braking my eng/trans than trying to use the motor as a kicker. Any ideas?

No trans brace?

A saddle style brace, not a ski style one

Is it best to pressure the cradle into the firewall before or after the dash bar is installed

If you have to have x amount of space after, if not I'd do first

If you have to have x amount of space after, if not I'd do first agree, but you wont know until after you pressure it together. I'd do it after.
