Finishing the King-Kong Rear Torsion Adjuster
Having a rear torsion adjuster is great because first of all it's a LOT stronger than the stock torsion center, and secondly you can adjust the ride height (and stiffness) without having to take apart the end caps. Basically, it makes maintenance much easier.
While installing the adjuster, I had to cut some pretty big holes in the tunnel to remove the old center piece and install the adjustable center. (You can read about that here)
I often lift up the car with my floor jack by placing the jack right in this same place. So, I added a piece of angle iron to ensure it was strong enough to support the entire car.
Here you can see how I put it all back together.
Fixing the Front Chassis
Our donor car didn't have a clutch so the previous owner installed a hydraulic clutch. It was pretty rigged up with a nasty hole cut into the chassis and a tab welded onto a stock clutch pedal assembly.
It didn't look too bad until we had the body off. Then it was clear that we'd need to do a repair.
I used some thin guage cold-rolled steel I bought from Home Depot to do the repair.
