Famous Bob,
I agree fully and I wasn't saying that a tube frame connector isn't the best. What I was saying is...... The convertible and Big Block A's have torque boxes. If you have never seen these you should ask/ look/ check them out. With torque boxes you cannot use regular frame connectors as they are sold because the rear is Boxed in are where there they attach. The connectors must be modified or make a custom set or US tool. I agree...frame connectors are a must and especially on a rag top. It's modified or custom connectors that are required. So yes, I have thought about it....I have had several drop tops.
