Starting my subframe this week...


Recommended Posts

Well, I got some 2.5X2.5 square tube (free is soo cool!) and have the car on stands/wood/whatever I could find. (I'm on un-even grass/dirt outside in a portable garage. Yes, it sucks.) I am planing to go straight from the T/C bracket to the rear floor end, than a simple 45* up to the rear frame. I know it wont be 'simple' but it's the best way I can see to do it. I am wondering something though about the front of the frame; Will the bracket/metal be strong enough once I cut the bottom out and slid in the square tube? And once it's all welded together, will it flex at all? All the frame areas in my car apear to still be pretty strong (looks like .085 metal or so.. under a layer of oil/undercoating :lol: ) and I am hoping it will be tough after all this work. Im thinking of a V8/other swap for next year, and I want this car to be able to handle some power, and hard driving. Any thoughts?
