Well I started welding today - still a lot of welding to do, but it is on it's way. I think I accidentally started a debate on a previous thread about internal vs external sub frame connectors. I already have the interior gutted on my car and only had to remove the seats. The paint is bad so who cares about messing that up. The internal ones are a good choice for me because I want ground clearance and maximum stiffness. If I had a good paint job and undercoating and did not want to tear up a good interior - I would most certainly be using the ones that mount under the floor. Crossing fingers on the pictures - hope they load. Cleaver
Under the car - still a lot of welding here yet to do. The tube is just stuck in the front subframe. This will all be welded. Also I will drill holes through the sides and make plug welds for additional connection. More pics later. Cleaver
Lookin good! That should keep it from twisting up. Dan ps debates here all the time. Thats how we learn different ways to do stuff!
I almost said something in the previous thread...I'm glad I kept my mouth shut now Looks good Cleaver...keep us posted on the progress:bananaman
Ok - here is an update on how I tied the tube into the rear subframe. I cut a little window out in the pan. The piece that the tube butts into is the front spring mount/subframe. It is pretty thick metal. Appears to be around 11 gauge. The metal in there was a little rusty and I can not get to it to clean it so I dusted off the stick welder and grabbed a couple of 3/32nds 6011 electrodes instead of the MIG welder. Then while it was still hot I sprayed it with cold galvanizing compound and covered it over with a coat of rustoleum. Now I'll go back and MIG the window back over. Cleaver
