Cross Frame by R-dracing.com

I would like to get the Cross Frame installed on my 95 LT1 but I do not know who can install it for me in Austin area. Please help.

I just received my Cross Frame last week. If you find someone to install yours let me know. Maybe we can get a price break with 2 installs at the same time. Did you receive the install directions with yours? Mine were missing so I am waiting for the reply e-mail from Dave. I do not think the install is very hard if you have a lift.

I did not order them yet. I wanted to see if there was someone in our area who had installed one. If you get yours installed then please let me know how they worked for you... who installed them and for how much.

Thanks,
Bobby

If you have some jack stands, you can do it. Only need to drill two holes if I remember correctly. A buddy would be nice to help support it. Its not real hard to do.

It is a simple DIY job.Just make sure you use the right drill bit.Takes about an hour.And if you have any trouble Dave at RD is always there for help.You only need to lift the rear high enough to get a drill under the car.The front is already just bolt up.

I installed mine in my garage using jack stands. Like the others have said you just need to get it high enough to drill the holes for the rear mounting points. You will need to drill 3 holes per side. It helps to have a helper, but it can definitely be done by yourself (I did).

I did mine by myself, but it would have been quicker and easier with a helper for sure. The toughest part is making sure you get a clean hole to press the nutserts into, tight enough so that there will be some friction when you run the bolts into them for the first time.
Good luck
