Point the nozzle in the direction you want to go and lean it back about
45*. Try to start your puddle on the frame connecter and move it to the floorpan. I usually stitch weld the pan to the connecter- pull the trigger,let off over and over.

You will need to use the bars to adjust your pinion angle and preload-if needed. I leave about a quarter of an inch of threads showing at both ends of the bar after you get the initial 4 link tune up set before preload. This will let you make preload adjustments if needed and also move the bars from...

I think it's just for strength John. THe floater MAY free up a little power but its probably offset with weight of the assembly.

There are a lot of ways you can do it. Since you have a lot going on such as the rear and front suspension being altered or removed and replaced, I think you should go off your pinch welds on the bottom of the rockers. Get the car level on jack stands. Get 2 plumb bobs and drop a mark off the front ...

Everybody must be there to sign, the page was unavailable. You know, everyone you talk to is sick of this but for some reason the same people get voted in every term. Don't understand.

Does your Camaro still have the factory adjustable brake rod connected to the pedal? Thats all you will need. Just be sure you check/adjust the length of it so it will not bottom out. You won't need the rod that came with the Strange unit

I have the Lincoln 175 Squarewave and love it. I think it was replaced by a 185. It's plenty for chassis work and thin aluminum up to 1/8". I bought a big 300 amp Esab with the cooling tower and all that for the aluminum jobs but still use my Lincoln 99 percent of the time.

Good luck

What you have done will benefit you. You could have gotten away with a lot thinner metal, like 18 or even 20 gage, I think you have helped yourself more than hurt.
