Default suggestions please?

im no professional fabricator but i love making parts for my s2k and saving money while modding. i had fabbed my strut bar, brake master cylinder brace, and my lower tie bar within the last few months and am getting the itch to make something else or weld in some further strength into the chassis. i have intake, exhaust, hard dog rollbar and all that good stuff and was wondering if any of you race junkies, i mean gentlemen could help me out in my modding addiction. thank you

ahhhh! good one, i will have to find some chunk of aluminum to experiment with. besides looking good, do these actually have benefits? do you think they really help strengthen the chassis?

what size do you think the original aluminum blank was 1" by 1" aluminum square solid or 1.5" by 1.5" solid? couldnt be bigger than that

I would guess they stiffen the chassis by 0.00001 percent

have a catch can and exhaust. canards maybe if i get a more aggresive bumper. seam weld, planning on it if i ever/when i have to pull the engine down the road.

and about the tunnel brace, lol its gotta be better than the stock one. mines bent as hell from hitting a armadillo im assuming!!!! so you think a 1.5" by 1.5" solid would be sufficient?

keep em coming!!!!
