Hi everyone, I'm now at that part of the project that splits men from the mice's, I have welded in two 2" (0,120" thick) tubes between the frame legs, one is under the cowl and one is where the radiator was supposed to be. My plan is now to cut out the original crossmember to adapt the corvette crossmember and parts, but I have kind of cold feet and doesn’t know if its enough with those two tubes or if I have to weld in more stiffening tubes.
Any framebuilders out there ?? or others that know anything about this ?? Thanks !!

I'm considering doing this while the body is off the frame of my '69. How beneficial do you think it would be? The car will not be raced, but I'm building it to handle the corners well and it will have some decent big block power. The thought is that it will handle a little better with less flex and it will be less likely to get stress cracks in the paint from engine torque. What do you guys think? Thanks, Matt
