      Classic Enterprises does not make the long crossmember as requested here. You are pretty much relegated to finding a used one.

          All C and K bodies from 54-64 had this crossmember. The earlier cars had a single "hoop" for a single exhaust pipe and the later cars had dual hoops. I don't know when the change was made. Either will fit your car.

            Thanks for the responce guy's and I've ordered floord. supports, inner rockers, etc and did not see that frame part offered so I'm still searching for that part.

              Dick, I thought only the R series GT's had the dual hoop batwings. I'm pretty sure my grandparent's '63 (standard 289) has a single hoop.

              These batwings are out there but nice ones are getting hard to find.

                    You're probably correct, Matthew. I checked some pics and my '63 had only the single hoop also.
