US Car Tool stiffeners on Mopar E-Body Cuda

We’re getting closer and closer to our goal but a little hung up on welding body stiffeners from US car tool. We found a local guy named Jeff that helped us out and we installed the upper fender stiffener and lower radiator stiffener. It’s hard to keep this project moving along with everything else going on but I’m still sticking with a spring time goal even though it’s approaching quickly. After this we can lay down some paint mount the engine and start hooking up accessory wires and things like that.

There is a technical aspect of this video that I wanted to share because I tried to search online for information regarding the lower radiator stiffener from USCT and I didn’t find too much info. There was a channel that I did find where they installed the aft piece and boxed in the lower radiator support on another e-body project. I found with our car the lower radiator would rub on the aft mount unless I ground a significant portion of the aft piece so we just decided to leave it off. I’m not sure if US Car Tool bought another company but it looks like they may have and since then change their kit to not include the aft piece. When I look on their website I don’t see that the aft piece included with the new kits. Anyways if you’re having an issue with this, even though I’m sure there’s not many people putting radiator support on an E body, here you go.
