RE: attention convertible and factory Hemi guys.

Hi,

I have built 3 of the 4 torque boxes in my wife's 64 Polara 500 convert.

I have photos of the torque boxes off the car and some of the rusted 
ones for reference.

The term torque box is a bit misleading.  It really is only plate steel 
that connects the frame rail to the rocker panels.  I was quite 
surprised at what they were.

I found that even when I made the cardboard patterns for fabrication, 
they still neede tweaking to fit.  Particularly the rear ones.

Email me off line and I may be able to find the cardboard templates and 
copy them for you but at least I can send you photos and we can talk 
about them. Email me for my phone number and we can further discuss 
this.  krmerkley at yahoo.com

Regards,

K.
