I have finished another www.DazeCars.com web page, How to make Sub-Frame connectors. As always I am looking for feedback on both the parts and the page.

First off, thanks for sharing your project!
Great work.

On your page, I thought the one pic of the installed connector
was too small and dark to see anything.
I would like to see more pics of the install, and the finished product.

Other than that nit-picking, I thought you did great.

Mine are straight.

Are these for the '65/66?

Any photographs installed?

I like how they will look more natural with the existing frame sections. They look very similar to Tinman subframes (which I have). Do they mount the same way, with the front entering the existing frame rail and rear attaching to the side rear frame by welding the plates? Are yours constructed out of 2x2 11 gauge steel?

They are similar but different than the tin man connectors. This design has 4 bends where the tin man connectors only have 3. They mount the same way although I personaly was able to weld mine in from the inside when I made some floor repairs which is much better than the plug weld option. As far as tubing they are 2X2 8 gauge
