building new car

[dirt fox]

im building a new car. i got it down to the bare frame. i have welded all the seams and boxed the frame. any other things that i should do while i have the chance? what about the front a arm towers? i usually just drop the front of the rf down to the frame to help out the anti dive and move the lf out about half an inch. any better ideas? thanks for the help

is boxing the frame rails really necesary?

[dirt daddy]

Yes & no most of them r rusty & or weak so it make it stronger safer & looks cleaner makes a little easyer 2 mount the fuelcell

Put a small tube (1/2-1") from the lower trailing arm bracket to the X brace or maybe to the frame if no X brace. The brackets can bend pretty easily if in a wreck, and the brackets crack after awhile. The upper control arm brackets woulkd depend on the rest of the front suspension. I would level them out some atleast, lower them down to increase upper a arm angle. move the RF in if using impala/caprice spindles, and stock uppers. Move the LF out if using stock spindles and uppers. What ever you do, try and fix the bump steer as much as rules allow.
