Frame connectors, need some pics..

I'm thinking about installing frame connectors and would like to see some installs. Can you guys post some pics?

why do you need pics? the installation is pretty straight forward. i would get the weld in type and weld them tight. i got some for the 73 and then cut them out for the 70 i have now. just curious?

Get the bolt on one's from summit.Comp engineering makes them.After you get them bolted up good and tight weld them on.

That's a good idea..

Because I like to do research and see what others have done prior to just jumping into something.. Straight forward or not.:beer:

i have a 67 so pics wont help, just remember to level your car side to side and front to back before welding them in. hope bthis helps

I'll go take a couple of pics... Be right back!

I dont have pics to post yet, but i made mine from 2x2 and they bolt to the rear frame rail and didnt have to take any suspention apart, i thought the bolt on's were a little weak and i didnt care for the rear mounting location.

drdenny very nice pics. i see you went red. i have the bolt in kind. i first bolted them up tight then welded. then removed the front bolt and welded it. very happy with the resualts. either way you go, i would weld them up. these are unibody cars and with any mods, you wil need some frame strength to keep from breaking glass and keep the doors from jambing. hope this helps.

"i see you went red." Just till I get Caltracs!;) :D :rolleyes:

I used the CE connectors although the rear of mine is somewhat modified. I welded in the front and had to clearance the floorboard a bit but beyond that they fit very well. This is one of the first things I did to the car but I replaced all the body mounts first to be sure everything was solid before locking it down with the connectors. As mentioned before it is a good idea to level the suspension points before you weld in the connectors.

After body mount install.

Like I said, the rear is slightly modified.
