S/CBlack95GT · Mar 28, 2004

I finally got my Global West subframes and crossbraces welded in after a year of putting it off. They made the car much more stiff. I notice the ride is a little more rough on bumpy roads and across RR tracks. Here are some pics, although they are kinda poor.

Looks good. Did you do the work?

Nice man , what kinda exhauset you have , short tube's am I right

Mrgreen94gt · Mar 28, 2004

Nice scissors.

You're ride actually got rougher with subframes? Funny, mine got smoother, oh well. Makes me wish that I'd gotten some full length ones.

S/CBlack95GT · Mar 28, 2004

My dad and I welded them in. He has like 30 years of welding experience so I figured he could do the job.

By rougher I mean the car just seems not to flex as much. The ride is more firm on bumpy roads. The ride does seem to be better on nice smooth roads though.

Seth, I have Bassani equal length shorties with a Bassani X-pipe.

Shaun, it looks just like my car!!! I have the full length GW subframes on my car and I have yet to see any others that match the overall beefiness of these. I'm very glad I went with them, my flexible flyer really needed them!

I went to the GW websitre but couldn't figure out which ones you bought. What were the part #'s. And which ones did you buy Killer as well?

S/CBlack95GT · Mar 29, 2004

Here is the page:http://www.globalwest.net/mustang 79-98.htm#Subframe connectors:

Scroll down until you see part 909-C, that is for verts. I also bought the crossbraces, part 922.

Is that a shimano reel on that pole?
Nice work on the sub frames too.

Killercanary · Mar 29, 2004

That's what I have, 909-C and the seat tie-in #922. I also run GW LCA's with the del-alum bushings.

those are beefier than mine. i have the keeny brown subframes. suprising actually cause i thought mine were really beefy, well at least compared to others.

OT: and this is why i don't put pics up, you guys pay to much attention to the things around the car. god forbid i have a small oil stain on my garage floor, and everybody would be all over me like flys on *poop*.

Whats in the blue bucket?

Whats in the blue bucket?

How do those compare to the MM subs?

MontrealFive0 · Mar 29, 2004

What did you have to do before you welded them in?
Removed battery ground, sub ground, etc?????

BlueOvalStangGT · Mar 29, 2004

I think thats a target for guns or a bow

Subframes look nice, I'm going to be putting some on my car soon hopefully

Mavrick · Mar 29, 2004

Looks good!

I thought you were supposed to weld subframes in while the car was resting on the wheels/suspension? I see your car is on stands unde the body of the car..

I forgot to take pics while we were actually welding them in, so I just put a couple jack stands under the body so I could get back under there and take some pics. I was going to drive my car up on my Rhino ramps to weld in the subs, but since I lowered the car that will no longer work. I had to instead jack the car up and place the Rhino ramps under the wheels

Montreal: I just removed both cables to the battery.
