Chassis stiffening

1966–70 Mopar B-body (Charger, Road Runner, GTX, Coronet) chassis stiffening

6 kits to stiffen the body shell, from frame rails and connectors to braces and roll bars.

How it's built
Unibody with welded-in front frame rails and a bolt-in K-member
Weak spots
A long, heavy unibody with unconnected rails, so it flexes under big-block torque. Soft torsion bars, rubber bushings and a slow box give heavy roll and poor feel.
