Posted January 12, 201213 yr im lookin to start a new build and try doing a wall. i know i shouldnt be doing this myself but the only way to learn it to ask a ton of questions and do it yourself. im not sure on the best/proper way to safely secure a wall. the walls gonna be for 2 psi platform 3s which arent too light. i just dont want the wall crushing me if i ever get into an accident. thanks.
January 13, 201213 yr If you do get into a severe enough accident you will die either way. If it is a permanent wall I would bolt/screw the walls to the metal of the car.

Im hoping if i made the wall as big and tight as possible it wont move that much if anything happens. Im just scared because i know people that have been killed like that. Thanks

January 13, 201213 yr The ONLY way to do it 100% knowing it won't move, is to weld a metal cage to the car. Then build the wall inside it.
January 13, 201213 yr or just send me a PM and being that im in michigan and own a shop I can help you along the way

Like was said above if you want to be safe (which you should) you need to build a frame !
