87 Monte SS build

Just noticed my SS has the bracing behind the seat that came on the GNX, does anyone else have this on theirs?

My early 87 SS has them too, as well as a bunch of other G Bodies.

Pulled out the frame and removed all the hardware, just need to spray it with degreaser and give it a good pressure wash. Need to have it ready to get the trick chassis frame box kit and lower braces welded in. Will also be doing a frame notch with the UMI kit.

Degreased and pressure washed the frame. Also got the rear coilovers assembled.

These past two weeks I've been pretty busy. My friend Miguel came through and worked on my frame. Did a frame notch using a UMI performance kit, added the rear upper and lower braces for the trailing arms, and boxed in the center section. Also ended up welding the UMI tower brace. Worked out perfect when we had to carry the frame. Tomorrow I'll be taking the frame and a few extra parts to the powder coated.

Also mocked up some of the rear suspension components just to make sure all the bolts would go through. Had to drill a few but it wasn't bad at all.

And here it is loaded on the trailer. Can't wait to start bolting everything back on.

Had a busy day today. My lil man gave me a hand too. Added upper and lower a-arms, coilovers, trailing arms, and the trailing arm reinforcement brace. Does any one have any tricks on how to raise the lower a-arm without lifting up the whole frame? I need to add the spindle, but with no weight on the frame, it lifts the whole front of the frame up.
