I'm getting ready to replace the rear half of the rear frame rails and the torsion bar crossmember in my '68 Charger (2 completely separate operations, not running concurrently). I have the chassis diagram here, but can someone show me with PHOTOS the correct locations and methods to reference into those points? I will be dropping the engine/K-frame for the torsion crossmember swap and the rear and springs will be out for the aft frame rail 1/2 replacement.
My plan is to get the measurements, mark the floor at 8 support locations (2 front, 4 rocker, 2 aft) and shoot them in with a transit to the correct heights per the chassis manual. Same thing guys doing it on beams are doing, but direct to the floor with measurements via a surveyors transit. This way I can build it on the ground without the huge beam structure in the way.
