Torque Boxes and Subframe Connectors
I made a set of frame connectors from 1.5" x 3" x.120" wall steel. I originally wanted to do 2x3x.120, but I decided I wanted to stay away from cutting the floor and I wanted them to fit flush at the rear rail.
It's hard to tell in these pics, but I boxed in the end that was cut to fit over the rear frame rails in addition to adding the extra plates to cover more surface area on the rear rails. I also reinforced the torsion bar anchors when I was welding in the connectors.
I also added torque boxes to the car, front and rear.
And in this picture you can see the "J" bars I added to stiffen the front, as well as the tie in between the "j" bar and top of the shock mount. You can also see the corner of the tubular radiator support brace I added behind the stock radiator support.
