Default Frame rails and subframe connectors update

I finished repairing the front frame rails and installed the subframe connectors. I wasn't impressed with the patch pannels but I made fit. But the floor supports looked real nice those did impress me. heres some pics

It's seeing things like this that make me realize how much a car means to someone who has truly "built" his/her car. Great work! I'll be looking forward to seeing how your project progresses. Cheers!

Nice! My car will look like this next month. Cant wait! What subframe connectors did you use? I'm looking at the TinMan 65-73 Mustang Subframe Connectors myself.

Nice use of angle iron mustanglover, bet that saved you a ton of money vs the crossbraces sold by vendors.

Thanks for all the complments

Adrenolin The subframe connectors are the bolt on ones sold by NPD for $99 and I didn't have to cut the floor or any other mods for them to fit. I didn't need anything fancey just something to make it solid.

honeygoldcoupe Those draps are in the garage I rent this tose draps belong to the ower of this house I just ignor them at least until I set them on fire from grinding something that is.
