wow i could eat off the bottom of your car!

as previously posted check out heidts as they have a connector that fits inbetween their subframes for increased rigidity as well as a built in driveshaft loop. pending how much power you will be making. for a stock smallblock car those tinmans look goooooooood

did you flip the rear shocks upside down to reduce unsprung weight?

By far the best, stiffest results would be to use convertible inner rockers.

Short of that, whatever you use should be welded.

I am running the Competition Engineering bolt in style connectors..I had a buddy weld them in at a muffler shop..I like how they also use the front bolt of the rear leaf springs to help tie them into the car..

Has nothing to do with this question but i was wondering.
Are you running your ele fuel pump just out of the stock hole, right now im running a sumped tank and hate how low the fuel pump hangs down rather not see anything. Also you ever have any problems with this set up. Im running a holley blue pump right now.

Also love the car i have a 67 coupe with 67 shelby body kit and 390 4 speed. Kinda wish i went with the 68 shelby kit now.

The TinMan connectors are great and highly recommended by a number of people on the forums. They look like 'full frame rails' when installed.
This set is installed on the front wrong, it should be against the top and the bottom bent up tot he bar and welded.
