In this video, Lonny shows everyone how to install torque boxes into their vintage Mustangs.
This is a simple and cheap way to strengthen the vintage unibody Mustangs that didn't come from the factory with torque boxes. Installing these will greatly improve chassis rigidity and also make the car a lot safer.
If you have any specific topics you'd like for us to cover in a video be sure to leave them in the comments below!

Great video. Best I’ve seen for torque box install in an early Mustang.

@wolfthornhawkridge5705 3 года назад

Awesome video, explained a lot. I always thought the 68 Mustang handled better than the earlier years. Also, I appreciate that you didn’t take the entire front end of the car off to install the torque boxes.

great vid - so glad it was posted in January - a winter project - not a summer one.

@TheSmellofGas 3 года назад

Great video! I need to consider adding this mod to our current GT350 Tribute...👍

@danielbargas3377 3 года назад

I’m restoring a 64 1/2 d code and have replaced the entire floor pan from firewall to trunk plug welded every inch apart. On the jack alone you can already see the difference in deflection is amazing. Will be adding front torque boxes now

Nice Vid. Keep em coming. Waaaaaay back in the day, I started rebuilding my 67. It was pretty rusty too. At the time I thought the right hand torque box was rusted completely out. Nothing left at all, so I replaced both, not realizing it only came with the one side........LOL. Turns out some mistakes aren't really mistakes after all :)

@deanhenthorn8674 2 года назад

Great vid. Never heard of a torque box before or you guys...so two birds with one stone. Wish we were closer to MO. s

Great video. We're restoring our '67 fastback right now. How do you prevent rust behind these panels (i'm paranoid about rust....not sure if it's justified...), but wondered what could be done to ensure long life for metal.

@ripburroughs 2 года назад

You stated those are Dynacorn Torque Boxes, are you using the 3654 & 3655 WT for 67-68 for Coupe’s & Fastbacks and modified slightly for the 65-66’s ? Great video for fitment, thanks

@mikehouser8308 2 года назад

Hope to see you all in Sturgis in 2022

@davevan8864 Год назад

Good info!! I have owned my 66 2+2 since 1975. Ballpark how much would one pay to have these installed. My car is kinda mild but sure these would be good to add. thx

@the-driver-66 3 года назад

Very informative video and a must when we start on my ‘66. My only question is regarding the last triangulated piece you fitted. Is it a mud and moisture trap? If so I would make a decent sized drain hole.

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

The torque box gussets actually leave a small opening between the torque box and frame to prevent water/debris build-up.

@the-driver-66 3 года назад

@@GatewayMustang 😎, thank you for your reply.

@limey2899 Год назад

hello great video, where do you get your torque boxes from.....do you have part numbers? Thanks

@JB-qu5vk 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video - Is that a 67-68 torque box Dynacorn Coupe/Fastback part or a 65-66-67-68 convertible torque box Dynacorn part?

@gregbowen9209 3 года назад

Any concerns about moisture and dirt getting trapped inside the torque boxes and becoming rust traps?

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

Nope! We spray weld-through primer on the inside of the torque box before we install it, and at the rear there ends up being a small passage that any water and debris can escape through.

@kevincady5613 3 года назад

Great video! Where are you located? I have a 65 fastback that would do quite well with this addition.

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

Thank you we are at 10461 North Service Road Bourbon MO

@anomamos9095 3 года назад

It's a little concerning that a prop wasn't placed under the cross member to take some of the weight of the engine off the frame rails before the torque boxes were welded in. I have seen some of those vehicles sag over an inch on the lift.

@dennisparass5531 10 месяцев назад

My 65 mustang has aHotchkiss suspension with sub frame connectors. Would torque boxes be duplicating the rigidity that I presently or do the add anything?

@red2003xlt 2 года назад

I inherited my mother's 66 mustang coupe. If I install L & R torque boxes do I still need subframe connectors? I plan on-street driving and maybe going to a 4 bbl holley

@bransonfleischman2233 2 года назад

On a street car, you could get away without subframe connectors and just go with the torque boxes. But they work even better in conjunction.

@cryptosully2357 2 года назад

how do you keep it from rusting out behind the boxes you left it bear metal ???????????

@seanweiss4647 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this info. When you cut the bitch for the back piece to the firewall how do you seal all the bare metal so it doesn't rust

@FINfinFINfinFINfin Месяц назад

Weld through primer.

@paulnoone8103 3 года назад

Hi, nice vid. Any info on what brand of torque box? as the link below dont seem yo work for me. Thanks

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

We use Dynacorn for all of our sheet metal.

@paulnoone8103 3 года назад

@@GatewayMustang Thanks for that, i did look for them at cj's and could only see dynacorn 1 piece units. Do you separate them or buy them that way, and where from. Thanks again.

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

The torque boxes come as a left and a right side with two panels per box, and the torque box gussets are a separate part.

@tezdesignful 3 года назад

What company makes those particular torque boxes

@GatewayMustang 3 года назад

The torque boxes used in this video came from Dynacorn

Why didnt you do anything on rust prevention inside ? The steel torkboxes are not very good prevent against rust. Spray weldtrue on them or undercouting These things rust out easy.. !

He did spray weld through.

@joe-hp4nk 2 года назад

The mustang front suspension was crap to begin with. You're just adding a band-aid to a bad design.

@GatewayMustang 2 года назад

Joe, this has relatively nothing to do with suspension but rather an integral chassis brace that not only makes the car safer, but improves overall handling performance by making the unibody stiffer.

@Galactusz007 Год назад

@@GatewayMustang Don’t mind Joe, as he’s obviously clueless of this concept.

@Galactusz007 Год назад

Joe, you are un gran pendejo, lol.

@russellweber4334 Год назад

Usually when a comment like this is made, it is a troll who I doubt has ever even changed the oil on a Mustang.

@joe-hp4nk Год назад

@@GatewayMustang True, the unibody needs stiffing. I owned a 66 mustang GT 289HIPO back in the early 70s. It was a lot of fun, but it seamed ford went out of their way to do things the hard way.
