Stopping the twist in the Graveyard Cuda

We like to build our cars in a variety of ways, some back to looking concourse original, some highly modified.  One thing remains constant in all of our builds, lots of power.  We like our cars to go fast and we race them all, whether it is on the drag strip or on the race track, they all need to go fast, handle and stop.  

The Graveyard Cuda has always been Shane’s fun car, it is also the car that he researches new technology on before recommending it to his clients, if it can withstand the punishment dished out by Shane then it can withstand any punishment.  

The Baracuda was definitely punished on the track, so much so that we had a twisting issue from the torque his motor was producing.  The twist the Small block 360 stroker would put through the car would result in us not being able to open the doors after race day, we would have to put it in reverse and give it a quick stab on the throttle in order for the car to twist in the opposite direction so the doors would open again.  

The only way to fix this is with Chassis Rail connectors, we hand make these to each individual car, profiling them to fit under the floor pan and engineering them so that they have crumple zones before and behind the passengers in the vehicle.  This way it stops the twist in the body while keeping the occupants safe in the event of an accident and the rails are tucked up nice and high under the car.  Check out the process on Episode 1 of Season 3 of Rides Down Under Workshop Wars on 7 Plus Catch up TV.
