Subframe Connectors

OK, another alternative. When I bought my frame peices I had them cut to exact lentgh $25. How much would a bodyman charge you to weld them in? He wouldn't have to weld them to the floor like I did.Still stronger than bolt ins IMO . Bolt ins $500? It wouldn't hurt to ask.

I don’t think there’s a darn thing to say negative about this approach but let’s be clear, everyone’s home brew install will be different. There’s a lot to be said for tried and tested off the shelf parts. To some people, that repeatability is with the cost.

Hope that wasn't directed at me. In the end I thought they came out good.

Not at all. Yours looks professional and clean. Not all of us work that neatly and the experience that it takes to do this stuff doesn’t just happen over night. Welding is an art.

If you’re one of those people who just picked up the skill, you should keep in mind that this is not a common experience. Boogery, chunky welds (that don’t last) are the norm for beginners.

I bought off the shelf Mopar Performance connectors and US Cartool torque boxes. Are they the ultimate/optimal solution? Some skills could have saved some money too but they’re done and The money I paid to the professional welder was well spent, IMO.
