Looking for some rock rail dimensions.
The size of the bar that bolts to the body seam for one. I figured I'd use some 1" by 1/4" thick flat stock. It's the length that I need advice on. I measured approx 60". That's from the rear to just behind the part of the body seam that has the two bolts through it. I guess that that is where the firewall, body and front fender all sorta hook up. A little sheet metal three way so to speak. And then the rail itself, I feel I may get away with something about 66"ish long. I can get some .250" x 1 1/2 box. And then some .185" x 1" box, about four per side, to go from the rail to the plates I'm gonna attach to the (let's call the unibody a frame) frame rail.
Whatdya'll think? Too heavy? Not heavy enough?
It's my "before end of August" goal.
I've seen enough pics to have a pretty good idea of the how, it's the how big that's killing me. I scored well in spatial relations on the entrance exams. Not so much on the spelling.
