Front Torque Boxes

[Heavy Metal]

Old post, just thought I would add some new photos of progress.

... and the inner rockers they sell are not wide enough for the 71-73s. Mine had a 1/2" gap that needed to be filled in at the rear spring mount (torque box).

Here's a perfect example of the them listing applications incorrectly - the seat pans are listed as coupe and fastback. Fastback pans are quite a bit shorter than a coupe.

I had a much smaller gap between the upper rear torque box and the repro inner rocker.

That's a lot of progress and work. Well done.

order them from don and they will be the right ones got all my 73 parts from him and they all fit right  ohio mustang

Old thread here, but we are doing a concourse restoration on a 1973 Mach 1 Q-Code and we need front/rear torque boxes.  Our car needs them, and nobody sells them, so what are the options here?  Does Don at Ohio Mustang fabricate and sell custom ones or something?  Thanks in advance.

The rear rail section and torque box assemblies are available in reproduction. I didn't see them on Don's site, but NPD has them.

Front 71-73 torque boxes are not available, so you need to fabricate and repair what you have., or get rust free parts from a donor car.
