Picture of the underside subframes

I was looking at the thread "make your own sub frame connectors" and I was looking at the picture that 89_ho_rs posted and was woundering if someone could post a simular picture or the same picture without the drawings and notes. I plan to make my own subframes and swap a ford 9". I would like this picture so I can look over the underside and draw stuff out. Has anyone ever used a rear end out of a 71 to a 74 mustang in there camaro. I found that this rear end is really close to the same size as the third gen rear end. Thank you and If anyone has pictures of tieing in the front subframe with the rocker over the cat, please post.

Thanks
Jesse

It is a mattress showroom. What better way to prove the durability of your serta??

I have a better solution picture of that and a better picture of the subframe on a jiglift. I'll post them when I get home.

Do you have specifications for building the subframes you have? Those look pretty sharp! I'm building a cheap Hobby Stock 3rd-gen dirt racer and I'm gathering up SFC info before I design the roll cage..

Sorry guys, that's not my car, just a pic I saved from the boards a while back. Mine is stripped down the same, just sans the SFCs and not on a jig lift.
