I was talking to my oldman about frame re-inforcement. I decided to have him weld for me since he has 20 years experience. I know how to weld but i'm not as confident as he is. We're planning to use arc to weld the arches and front plate using 1/4 or 3/8 thick sheet. I was thinking of pulling out the rear seat and put the batteries in that spot instead of having it in the trunk. Not sure if it's a good idea but I would like extra space. Plus, I don't see anybody sitting in the rear when I'm lowriding next summer until I get another gbody frame for full wrap. What you all think of that idea? forum has been slow lately and thought i'd give it something to talk about.


I will start posting pics when I start my build so ya'll can help me do it right. It won't start until spring when the weather gets warmer.

dont nkow for sure but ya i would do 3/8 in te front,and no u should not put your batterys in the midle of the car that will make the car sag in the middle and then over time im sure it would buckle. just my 1cent

Ive only seen dancers do that. There are couple reasons why daily drivers dont do it. It dangerous if you get in a wreck, batts put off a smell when charging and can exlpode, batts in the truck help your hop if they are in the middle it can hurt your hop a little (leverage), no matter how pretty you make it look it looks like ass in my opinion, but to each his own. You can fit 2 pump wammy a piston pump and 8 batts with 2 12in subs in the back. ive seen it done plently of room just tight fit.
