Here Is The Build Up Of My Monster Sub Frame Connectors.

[johnnydart383]

just 3x3 square stock cut to fit around the rear frame rail

then had to channel small portion of the floor board.

and the front attachment for the connector.

i got the mopar ones for 189.00 and got em out of the box... those things were crap. these are way stronger and not all the intrusive.

AWESOME! Thanks for posting this... what did you use to transfer the design to the metal? Did you just cut some cardboard?

ok guys i dug up some more pics. i started by measuring from the trans crossmember to the end the frame rail were i wanted the connector to butt up against the brackets for the front spring hanger. it sound confusing but you will see in the pics what im talking about. i then measured from that back point and to the spot were the bar would poke thru the floor. i cut a piece about 8in long and then cut it down the side so that i had a piece of C-shaped metal. i use some duct tape to hold onto the frame rail and then used masking tape to trace the contour of the floor. then i dropped it all out and transfered it onto the actual connector.

then i trial fitted it and once i was happy with the length i drooped it out and cut another 1/8 off the front to allow for the plate.

and here is what it looked like before i put it in.

i then cleaned/grinded/wire wheeled the underside until i looked like obama

you can see how it fits around the floor adn the frame. i also had to trim the bracket for the bucket seat mt./brake line mt.

and there you have it. my car can sit on 3 jackstands and the doors still open like a new sedan.
