Ok i want to get your guys thoughts. I wanna box in a few sections of the factory frame for jacking points at the track oon wenn needed in a pinch cuz i can see on my car ppl have done it before and smashed it up some. I was thinking the verry front sections before it starts running up tword the firewall and the back section right before the subframe and on each side the two parts that run out at a 90 degree angle to the frame. What do you think is it worth it?

Well it really depends, cause u can use where the front and rear sub frames bolt to the chassis as lift points just as easily. Put your jack right under the bolts and lift, Or life from the diff. But that is my opinion. If you want points in the middle of the car to lift the whole side at one time, then yes, but it seems like added work and weight for no real reason. Unless you are trying to strengthen the chassis up and have lift points by putting a second layer over the exhisting frame rails, and maybe hiding the fuel and break lines in the process.

[wesbeech]

Ok well here is how the car looks now

And here is the under coating i have removed so far

I have one of the rear frame rails all boxed in and i haope to get the other one done tomorrow. Im only doing this to spread the stress from the chute and strenghen it up so the chute mount and new frame section dont rip out one day at the track.
