Dear Welder Series… Mustang II crossmember dimensions?

Dear Welder Series…
Interested in your mustang II crossmember with coil overs.  How much does the crossmember weigh and how wide is it outside to outside at the lower control arm mount?  Thanks.  Steve.

Dear Steve…
The 56″ crossmember kit (shown below) with the upper arm brackets and coil-over mounts weighs 32 lbs.

The two crossmember pieces and the plates that run from the top of the crossmember to the inside of the frame weigh 19 lbs.

The lower control arm holes are on 22-1/4″ centers.  If the center line is extended each way, the crossmember dimension is 25-5/16″.

I hope this helps.

“Do You Think I’m Fat” CONTEST!

UPS is always at the NSRA Nationals weighing cars, so I thought I’d take the ’32 over and see if it needs to go on a diet.  Before I spill the beans (and the twinkies, and the ho-hos), I thought it would be really fun to see how much you think it tips the scales.

Click here to email me with your guess!  The winner will get 1% of the weight they guess in dollars.  In case of a tie, you may want to divide it up into front/rear distribution.  I’d be happy to answer any questions about what’s on the car, or you can just read the whole build-up HERE.

Contest closes modnight on August 24/09.
