[QUOTE="Burninrock24, post: 1181584, member: 18179"] Fair enough, I would try that baking method with a smaller sample first before you go trying it on the door windows though. As for the Matrix subframe connectors, that style is a good bracing style, and will give you the best stiffening for the lower subframe. You will still want to do the upper subframe which will end up looking like this. It stiffens more than the lower subframe connectors. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v426/cobraracer46/li16.jpg[/IMG] You could try some seam welding, and putting expanding foam into all of the hollow points. There was an SAE paper written by Chrysler engineers that said that using a rigid expanding foam in hollow points around the chassis like the A and B pillars stiffened the chassis some 20% - 30%. I tried it on my track car and I can't really speak for much because there aren't many truly hollow parts on it, but I know the Mustang has more parts that could benefit from this method. [/QUOTE]
