oh shit


When fliping the car over I heard something move, not good.

It seems the front brackets were shifting and contacting the upper body holes denting the metal opeings.  The bolts were tight but obviously shifting within the bolt holes on the body.

So a quick survey turned up the front swaybar mounting points.

 
Using some of the scrap 3.5 wide 1/4 inch stock two plates were made to weld to the existing mounting brackets.


I used a thin strp of copper to seperate the welded area from welding the bracket to the car body prior to welding the plate to brackets.




Upgraded brackets now unable to shft and contact the upper body bumper bracket holes as they are supported by the plate under the frame and secured to the body via the front swaybar mounting points.

The rear mounts were still tight and nothing has shifthed.
