I have a issue where the under dash bar attatches to the firewall I have movement. I drilled another hole on each side and as i said samwiched the firewall between metal plates. IT STILL CREEKS AND MOANS! I do realize that this is one of the first contemporarys made. and its old. but do I need to reinforce that underdash bar. or??? any ideas? also are any of you guys running a body type bushing or a strip of rubber between the frame and body?

I have the same complaint about the ccx and its dash movement. It only happens over a major pot hole or crack in the road. You have to make sure that the hood, doors and trunk lid are fastend properly and that the seals are new and tight. I am almost happy with the feel of the chassis but I know that adding the cowl hoop tubes to the front suspension will probably make it as good as it can be.
The underdash hoop is attached to the main frame (at the floor) with bolts and the top of the hoop is attached to the firewall which is fiberglass. The original cars had long tubes running for the dash hoop to the front suspension and these tubes were also attached to the top of the foot boxes.
The problem with the ccx is the brake pedal assembly is mounted from the top of the pedal box and would interfere with the long tube. In order to properly reinforce the dash hoop you will have to convert to floor mount pedals.
Hope this helps
