Took the fuel tank out so I could weld in the last cross member I made.
Can see how there is plenty of clearance over the twin 2.75" Mopar/Corsa cat back system.
I made up a little gusset under the cross member to the top of the upper control arm mount. It adds support to the bracket and I could never get a weld in under there as too tight. Now it is all sealed up.
Decided to add a K member to the frame. This is a requirement should I ever decide to go on street rod club registration here. Its function is to stop the frame trying to turn into a parallelogram under heavy acceleration. Can't compress a triangle.
K member ties into the upper control arm mount and the new gussets I had just fitted too.
The back of the the K member is gusseted, mainly to serve as a mount for the centre fuel tank support.
Can see the reason for the bends in the K member now as it had to go over the fuel tank.
Another thing I did was round the outer corners of the big cross member. Just was annoying me that is looked to 'cut off' compared to the rest of it. Can see how it was on one of the other photos above. As it was already in place, I just cut the corner away and added in a piece from some 4" pipe I had.
Well that only leaves the very front cross member still to do. Will fit that after I have the front clip mounted and the radiator in position to make sure it doesn't interfere with them.
