EB tubing to body help

[jwbures]

I'm having some trouble deciding on wether I should loose the front body mounts or not. I want to tube the front part of my bronco from under the grill to the fire wall. I would like to get rid of all the sheet metal suports and wheel wells, replacing with tube and mounting the body pannels to it. But i also plan to mount the coilovers to to the same. How bad would the body flex be with body mounts in the center and rear of the bronco and the front without. any ideas and opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

It's been done, several times in fact.

There's several threads on CB about it. Loads of great pics too.

I'll be doing it to mine this summer (when it's to #$%^& hot to wheel) along with narrowing, and pushing the front axle forward ~3".

68 crawler, thanks for the norcal link, theres some good pics and Bear, I'll look around on CB. I still am having the problem figuring out if I can loose the front body mount without damaging the fenders or anything else. Any others with ideas?

Thanks,
Josh
