72 Demon now underway

gen2hemi,

I'm glad you said the AMD floor fit well. Looking forward to getting started doing the same on my Duster. I hope once the old floor comes out the remains look as solid as picture in your project. I'm going to connect up the front to back as well. Are you making your own or going with the laser cut units?

Joe, I actually bought the subframe connectors as a package with torque boxes front and rear from Auto Rust Technicians. They are pretty basic square tube design like old super stock Dart factory racer note, but they are heavy wall and have nice slot for ebrake cable, sculpted end to meet rear frame rail, and drain holes on bottom. I don't like their install directions which say to just butt them up to crossmember and weld, so I am cutting a gusset plate and attaching to the connector tube first, then putting a plug and perimeter weld to the crossmember. Working on that part of the build now, I'll get some pics when done. I wasn't crazy about the laser cut style because of all the floor pan weld bead work to such thin metal. Yeh you end up with a boxed structure but nothing like a stout square tube. BTW, I also like Magnum Force's design which I have on my convertible Chall using twin DOM tubes siamesed together.
