Check out US Car Tools website. They weld them on while the car is on a rotisserie. These folks are a professional restoration company. It makes sense to me weld like that. It's not much fun welding above you on your back in a shower of sparks.

Here's a little more info to stir the pot....Hotchkis wants a loaded chassis.

Here they deal with one of my issues.....torque boxes. As you can see there are over 10 pages so there is more to it than just slamming them in and welding them in place.
You guys can debate Hotchkis install methods while I move along with the project. Enjoy the fuel.

Just a thought on the subject, if frame connectors would've been installed at the factory when would they be installed, during construction of uni-body before suspension or after the install of drivetrain and suspension sitting on all four wheels after paint. It makes sense that it would be during construction of the uni-body on a jig. So it seems that if fenders, doors are aligned and frame is level and all that you would be fine doing it on a rotisserie or on jack stands. Just a thought.
