I love Red paint!!!

Got Rear upper strut tower Brace in. I think I can even feel the difference in handling,....but maybe it is just the red paint making me feel like king of the road!! :rockon: :rockon:

Here is the lower rear tie bars. I had alittle trouble getting the shorter one in, it was kinda like a puzzle, I scrathed it all up so I repainted it but with a slightly different color(Ford Orange :sad2: ).....but once I figured it out I got it back in pretty easy.

It might not make that much of a difference but I would have welded a large washer to the top of the strut brace... so the hole in the washer was big enough for a socket to fit thru (if you needed to) but had enough material to add extra rigidity to the pipe.

Looks good though :)

I have seen these (lower rear tie bars) all over EBAY for different cars. They do nothing for chassis stiffening, but look cool...;)

They do something....they hold red paint!!! :)

I didn't notice as much change as I did from the rear upper strut brace....I think they are important more for people with massive upgraded rims and tires...

and on next page is the new front lower tie.

It was $150 all together. The front lower tie is not on yet. And then the Red paint is $5 a can :). I got a Carb so i have to modify air box before I get an upper tie for front.

I figured it is a good deal, and it keeps a 3Geezer working so maybe he'll make a header one of these dys....
