Subframe connectors March 24, 2013, 12:34:48 PM Can you guys provide some pictures of your sub-frame connectors ?I can't decide on what route to take with mine.I plan on going extreme with these things so I want some ideas.At this point I'm thinking of buying the Global West pieces and adding additional support at the front and rear. Pics installed please.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gls-918/media/images/year/1987/make/ford/model/thunderbirdMaybe I'm wrong but I noticed a member by the name "Aerocoupe" seems to have roll bar tubing subframe connectors that tie into the trunk frame. I like that idea. Quote Selected
Subframe connectors Reply #1 – March 24, 2013, 02:17:58 PM I made some based off of the global west connectors. I think for a street car these will do fine. If you are building an all out drag car or you want the stiffest chassis possible you may want to look at the thru the floor connectors. Quote Selected
Subframe connectors Reply #2 – March 24, 2013, 09:52:24 PM I've just got 1"x2" square wall tubing as subframe connectors. It made the car noticeably more solid over bumps. It also corners much better as well. Quote Selected
Subframe connectors Reply #3 – March 24, 2013, 11:51:10 PM thunderjet302, Can we see the rear section ?I'm curious if you welded on the angle part of the torque box/jack plate area or directly on top of it. One of the main reasons I'm interested in subframe connectors is the fact my car spends so much time on a lift (lol). Quote Selected

Subframe connectors Reply #5 – March 25, 2013, 12:00:32 PM I want to brace the front frame rail some how.Here is a pic from Project Evolution thread that shows my area of interest. Another idea for the rear is to make a horizontal brace. From torque box to torque box. Quote Selected
