Ok I am thinking of building my own sub frame connectors, for the Dart.Ihave a buddy who works at a muffler shop and they have a drive on lift so me thinking this should work right or wrong,any thoughts.
Yes its not free.You may have to roll it off the rack to reach all the welds, but you should be able to weld the majority of it on the rack. Only way to go if you have access to the lift IMO. Nice to have friends with equipment! :cheers:
Do you have to pay him shop time or like me with friends, trade for beer? :drinkers:
Are you building the FCs or is he? You can do a lot of prep yourself before you bring it to him and save him a lot of time and you $. You could even do all the finish welding at home...if your a welder. Just nice to have the chassis loaded/wheels on the rack when you start welding them in.
FYI Have all you plumbing and parking brake cables sorted out before he starts welding. It costs twice as much to un-weld.
I made mine out of 2x3 14 gauge rectangular tubing I bought for $20 at the local metal supply. I cut very front of the rear frame channels and inserted the tube into the opening. The back half of the connectors comes up through the floor pan so there is a lot of cutting and fitting but real happy with the results.
If I am understanding your post, you actually cut the factory frame in order to install the new frame connectors? I have never seen that, can you provide a picture or two of your work? I hope you haven't compromised the original frame or created a potential weak spot! Just sayin'... not knowin'
