Ok, looks like I am the first poster to this new forum in this section of Members Restorations! Cool!! :eusa_clap: :upside down:
Now, could the Admins move my same-named thread over on B Bodies over here?
The current 'thoughts' I have for the 300 is the flex in the frame/chassis. It's a uni-body car, similar rear frame rails to our B Body cars, but the K member/front frame rails on this car is one piece, bolted on via 4 large bolts mounted in rubber -- to give it that floating feeling cars of this era had, and people desired. The thing that bothers me is the said flex of the car. When I put the car on my lift and raise it, the front top of the fenders opens up a mm or so, and the bottom closes the same distance reflecting the flexing of the car!
So, I've been thinking, and I don't think there is anything out there; frame connectors for C body cars! I'm studying it, and may mock up some, and, if they pass my own critical mass testing (I'm my own worst critic) I may just license them, and put the word out there! However, making them fit looks like a task; I'd want to keep the removability of the front K member on this C body cars, doing so looks like it's a challenge vs over on our B Body cars.
