did you weld on your sub frame connectors when the car was a bare shell?

i have been wondering if i should install sub-frame connectors on a 72 dart im working on that is a bare shell now or should i wait till its more assembled.

i was going to paint it underneath like you did yours so in a way, welding in the connectors later will form a problem with the paint process but im just curious on the order of operation you did yours
Rani, I fabricated the frame connectors myself, from what started out as 3" X 2" heavy wall tubing, cutting them to the shape of the floor pan ( just like the boughten ones) I tacked them in place with the car sitting on its wheels ( full weight) and then later, when I disassembled the car, and mounted it on the rotesseri, I rolled it upside down and welded them in fully. then the bottom of the car was primed/ painted, on the rotesseri.
