Default Rough Draft-drawing

hey guys whats up,

I have been thinking about building a few things for my car to help with susp.

My grandpa is an Iron worker so ofcourse he has the huge shop that I would be doing this in.

My question is, would this hold up?
Its going to be a 3 peice.
1 Peice, C pillar bar,
2nd Piece, the "X" not sure whats its called
3rd piece, the Rear Upper strut bar,

I had planned to have the center piece bolt to the other two bars,
Would this work?

This is the very rough draft, I drew this in 10 min at school.
I'll be doing more resaerch and lookinto materials etc...
But I want to know what you guys think as of now.

Thanks, and the pics


and the drawing, also plan for a 3point upper front strut bar.



the car

the rear x needs to connect to the bolts. not the middle of the bars

if you really want real rigidity youd get a cage.

The X is one single peice, welded in the center where the two bars meet creating the "X". And then I would have brackets welded on the ends and then that would be bolted to the C piller bar and the Rear upper strut bar,


I'm Making a C-Pillar and a Upper rear strut bar so I thought i might as well
do this.

well you need to make it one piece but move the point to where i said.

its not doing what you think its doing when the bars are where you have them placed.

Yes, I understand.

The "X" needs to connect at the mounting points, not in the middle like I have drawn above. Ok thanks
