Firewall / Frame Torque Boxes

They probably don't repop them because the Chinesium would crush under the weight.

Why is it this part isn't repopped is beyond me. They repro just about everything else. And there does seem to be a real need for these.

Here's what they start with:

Then end up with:

They may be still working on one though.

They are not that hard to fabricate, I make one for my GP....if I can make it 99% of the rest of the population can, the other 1% are too busy making money to be bothered...😎

Do you have any pics? I lifted the body off yesterday and the right front mount is thin and I'm trying to figure whether to cut up one from the kit for the rear or if there's something else out there.

I’ll get some pics when I get it off the trailer later today. Still trying to figure out how to get it off the trailer in my garage by myself lol.

I was planning on making them myself with pieces a member here was going to hook me up with. After tearing in to the car more I realized there was nothing left of the inner rocker or the lower A pillar section to weld to, plus the rear seat support was rotted as well as the 4 rear body mount supports and the trunk on the drivers side above the body mounts.

That’s just some of it there is a lot more and I keep finding more every time I look. Funny thing is the front clip doors and quarters are solid.

If you are going to repair that I suggest you find a good donor car that you can use half the firewall and the floors, I also suggest you get a rotissary cause it is no fun welding on your back. Personally I would find another car and keep the front clip and quarter panels

With as many G bodies as were produced, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would consider fixing a car with rot like that.
