Go over to Pete Paraska's web page (Linked off the site when you come in unders Personal pages) and print his sub-frame connectors blue prints. Copy those and you will have a good foundation. Also, find the thread in the "Non-Tech" board listed as "Sheetmetal work SuckS! and scroll down until you see some pics of a floor pan kit one of our members purchased from a vendor... Get those and tack them inplace ontop of the framerails You will copy from Pete!

 

After that, look into a 6 point or 8 point cage. Torque tubes...I don't think anyone here is using one...Ticht confines under that car with a V8 and tranny...

Good Luck

Mike :D
