formed a 1/2 moly tube around the bottom of the bumper...used the front four threaded tabs as mount points for moly tabs I welded on the tube. in the center, I used three dzus fasteners to shore it up
Started on a pull point to tow the car...put it behind the front license plate...I mounted the bottom of the plate on an aluminum piano hinge and used two dzus fasteners up top to secure it
Almost finished with this project. I can't believe how stiff the front end came out
Did some things different than most I've seen:
1. Minimized the amount of bars up front. I have the tradiitional crossbar with the "C" tabs, but I've only adding tubing up to the top of the bumper and a 1/2" diagonal brace that goes to a tab where the bumper and fender bolt together.
2. On the shock tower, added a dzus bracket so the hood will attach to that dzus to provide additional rigidity.
been out of town the last week on vacation...not alot more to report. Before I left, I cut out the rest of the extra metal and hope to have the engine bay ready for paint by the weekend
