    US Car Tool Torque Boxes and Sub Frame Connectors Install

    Looking to see if anyone has experience installing the US Car Tool torque boxes and subframe connectors. My questions is, do you stitch weld the subframe connectors to the floor pan, or completely weld them? I think the torque boxes would get weld completely, but the subframe connectors would...

    Although drop tops are reinforced in the rockers, I think subframe connectors would be a plus!

    If I added subframe ties I wouldn't stop there. Box in those Torque Boxes.

    Need advise on Sub frame connectors

    Every early Mopar can benefit greatly from adding subframe connectors. Personally I used 2x3 square stock because 3 inch fits perfect over the existing rear subframe section. I could see the benefit of the US Cartool connectors being welded to the floor pan, but for a driver type car I think...

    I've made some progress on my diy subframe connectors. 1 Down 1 to go, then the welding party begins.

    While you have it on the rotisserie would be a good time to install subframe connectors, instead of trying to weld overhead.

    Wallmart had a deal for hotchkiss subframe connectors for $38 bucks I think they screwed up. They sold out fast. LOL!

    Motor plate question

    With that kind of horsepower and torque, I would be looking into reinforcing the frame, cage, down bars, and subframe connectors. Especially in a unibody car of that age. Nice looking engine.

    ...of the rear quarter panels, they recommended installing the US Car Tools Level 2 Chassis Stiffening kit. This includes Subframe Connectors, Front and Rear Torque Boxes, Front Inner Fender Brades and Lower Radiator Core Support Stiffener. I chose not to go with the Level 3 kit which includes...

    Which body for best performance?

    ...keep getting skinny with an alum. radiator, alum heads & intake, manual steering. then adios all the heaterbox junk. add back in some subframe connectors, radiator support stiffener and upper fender struts as well as the torque boxes front and rear. that would be crazy light and super stiff.

    A Body Frame Connectors

    Subframe connectors are great. I don't know that I would suggest putting on the USCT ones unless you're either a masochist or have the car totally blown apart. I have the hotchkis ones and it really stiffened up the car. The door used to rattle on bumps and no longer did immediately after...

    ...this lol but i have been working on it. Replaced upper control arm mounts, & inner wheel wells, finised torque boxes. Really wish i had the rotisserie when i started them & did the subframe connectors. Did first trial fit of the hemi/ 8hp70 setup. Trimmed trans tunnel & almost ready to try again.

    Need advise on Sub frame connectors

    2 Door and 4 door Darts have the same wheel base, 111”, and use the same frame connectors(except demon/dart sport and wagon). I would definitely recommend adding them to your car.

    Do you have photos of the underside from when you installed the driveshaft and subframe connectors? Is there a build thread? I'd love to look it over.

    US Car Tool Torque Boxes and Sub Frame Connectors Install

    I stich welded my subframe connectors in. Did 1" welds every few inches along both sides and fully welded the ends. The car stiffness is amazing now. I see no advantage of welding the entire length except for making you feel good.

    Real leaf spring mounting area

    Does anyone make reinforced brackets to put in place where the rear leaf springs mount to frame? I know they make subframe connectors and torque boxes. Wondering if they made and reinforcement plates for that area?

    Its like anything in Hotrodding Goldduster, It takes some patience and some preplanning. I agree that they install way easier without floors in the way but, I did mine after putting the new floors in. We put the frame connectors in place and then cut and adjusted them to fit. One thing to...

    Need to replace my stock rusty floor pans

    ...patching id like to frame the area and replace it with nhra minimum thickness steel .023. If anyone has any pictures of their cars flooring/framing I'd like to see them. As the car sits I have 2×3 subframe connectors and the cage is built already. I'm kinda just out of ideas at the moment. Thanks

    ...moving or not i don't know. a few interesting choices (to me at least) in that they kept the KH front discs and there's no subframe connectors. but some very nice touches of keeping the dash stock (with a factory tach!) and not "resto-modding" the interior. it's very tidy all around. all...
