67 gt500 shock tower reinforcement plate

I was in the testing group at Ford when we learned that the spring towers with the 390 engine in the Mustang were moving inward (toward each other). This occurred during 400 cycles of Rough Road Durability on the cobblestones at the Dearborn Test Track. Ford may have found the problem  on the 1967 durability test but proving out a fix would take time.

Who did the Welding on the 67's and early 68's, was it SA or Ford?  If at SA, was it done with the Engine in place?

My 1968 "C" code convertible had the big block shock towers from new. Never knew it initially. Just a factory fluke. Build date was mid-July 1968.

Cougars had wrap around shock towers and i seen cj cars with one side only wrap arounds and cjs with no wrap arounds.

The welding was done on the Ford line.
