Ford Mustang: Bah! Gotta vent..

I did some cross measuring a few months ago (when I had that bend
scare).. It checked out.. I believe it's just that horribly fitting tbox
from NPD.. Last time I buy anything from there.. It was just too big
for the frame rail..

i don't get it? The bottom, i got into place with c-clamps.. but the top
part I can't seem to bend down to fit into place?

I'm lucky. I have a set of lower reinforcements from UMI Performance in PA.
They sell theirs on Ebay. Scored them for way less than Wild Rides' Battle
Boxes cost. I installed them today (after waiting over a year). I only bolted
them in for now as I don't have a welder. One thing to take into consideration
is it is not always the part at fault that may not fit. If the car has been
through a lot of abuse the torque box area may be distorted. My right side
was. The top wasn't flush with the flooring, but after tightening the floor
plate it was flush. Then there are those no-name manufacturer ones that don't
fit for crap or are just knock-offs of the popular brands.
