70 Hemi Superbird Restoration..................errr.....scratch that........

ARB =
60 down to a 1.46 from a 1.56. Leaves hard and straight. Keeps wheels down and no body twist. So far I'm liking it.

Worth every penny...... Congrats, that's a big shave off the 60 and I bet it feels much smoother at the hit.

I got the rear cross bar in today. It's all welded out and welded to the wing supports. Had to do that while laying in the trunk, TIG foot pedal between my knees. What a clusterflock, lol.

I still need to weld all the plates to the floor, but that will be tomorrow's project.

I also made a bar for the removable chute/trailer hitch mount.

It goes through the rear trunk latch support......

.....and exits the bumper. The tube will get profiled to match the bumper. I did it this way to retain the factory gas tank filler and flip down license plate.

Awesome fabrication! Very cool seeing your drawing come to life!

Thanks Pat! I brought a little more to life today. Made both lower frame rails and one side of the upper.
The lower is the long one running up to the lower hoop. The short one runs up to the rear hoop.

The rear joint was tricky to cut where three tubes all met but I got it figured out.

Here's the entire Driver's side assembly tacked up with the vertical piece put in. The ARB crossbar will mount in between the two frame rails on this piece.

So you worked the tig pedal with your middle LEG??

I don't TIG and tell

Both rear frame rails are in. I still have to weld in bracing and weld out everything else before they can go in permanently.
