frame reinforcements?

[Kooldino]

Is there any good way to reinforce the bodies of our car? Here's why I'm asking...

I'm putting a lot of $ into my car, and if it gets wrecked and the frame gets bent, the car is basically totaled, and I'm screwed. Then I'd have to start from scratch. Is there anyway to reinforce the frame (under the car maybe) so that it may hold up better in the event of an accident?

Best way I know of, don't wreck it.
Do you have plans to wreck or something?
Talk to your insurance agent about coverage for stated value.

awr has fabricated new control arms, and i believe a front subframe reinforcement... i dunno check out their site. i don't think you can reinforce a frame much... i agree with cj.

strip it all down and have it seam welded.

Alot of cars these days are built with crush zones that crumple under impact to protect the occupants.

Also I don't know if I would want a car that had been in a bad enough accident to bend the frame or unibody.

Nothing will make the car as strong as a professionally installed cage.

seam welding would come pretty close if not just as good
