Fusing with fire
I'm starting building new frame connectors and a drive shaft hoop. I'd like to see pics of how you folks did yours.
My old frame connectors were less than stellar, I welded them outside in the wind with the car on jackstans. So the welds weren't the best. My new set is 1 3/4 .120 wall tube. It looks super clean. I'm not super worried about even having them as the car is fully caged and very stiff but they do make a great spot for the driveshaft hoop.
I'm thinking about forming the hoop out of 1/8x1" plate in a big oval. I was not gonna make it removable. Was planning on just dropping the shaft from the rear and sliding it out of the hoop?
