Subframe connectors for a driver/cruiser, necessary to weld to floor?
What did you use there? 2" x 3"? you did a real nice job! Perhaps what the factory would have done. Certainly what they should have done!
Thanks for the kudos Rusty.
This is an old thread i replied to that seemed to pick up traction again. I used 2x3 box steel 1/8" thick. The lap plates against the torsion bar crossmember are 3/16". They allow a better load transition into the thinner crossmember since they are laying alongside it, and not as some people do by just butting the connector to the torsion bar cross member and welding. Dont forget the drain holes either lol. Mine are 3/4" it's as big as my unibit was.
Re routing the cable to inboard of the connector makes it really clean as well. I also did this same subframe connector method to the 69 cuda coupe as well. I have not been on here as much lately as the messiness known as lifes utter bullshit has most certainly gotten in the way of things.
I have a build thread on here called 67/68/69 cuda dilemma , that has a lot of weld and fab, including a super clean way of modding and installing a 42/46RH trans in an A body along with everything to make it work including stock using the console shifter and using the factory kick down cable, as well as how to make a bullet proof front lower radiator crossmember that looks factory made. I like modified stuff that appears stock
One day I will get back to all this and get further, but for now it sits and mocks me every time I go in my shop for a tool.
Thanks
Matt
