R-D Racing Cross-Frame Installation
Is anyone in the Southeast Michigan area doing cross-frame installations? I am very interested in purchasing one from R-D Racing, but do not have access to facilities for installation.
Also, do you know if this cross-frame clears a Corsa aftermarket cat-back exhaust system?

I test fitted one this evening. If I'd had the right sized drill bit here tonight, it would've been done. If you can drill a few holes and follow directions you can do it. Piece of cake.

Finished the install tonight right after work. Nutserts are very easy to install, even if you've no experience with them. Could tell the difference just driving up my "Baja" driveway from the shop. Car is very ridgid now. Sort of like Viagra for your Vette! 
BTW, cleared my aftermarket PE exhaust system easily, not even close. Next major suspension mod, coilovers....
