question about SFC's

Hey all. How hard do you suppose it would be to make sub frame connecters for a camaro? My dad is a pro welder, and I haven't talked to him about it, but do you think the cost of the materials alone would be cheaper to do it ourselves (it would be more fun ) or do ya think it would end up bein cheaper just buyin em?

cheers!

i spent 30 dollars on enough to make 2 sets, could of spend less but i made a duel rail sort of arrangement. how hard it is depends on your skills and equipment.

Well we have a tig/mig and arc welder.....and an oxy acedalene welder so I thin we have the tools. Oh we have ppe benders and some other stuff as well. My dad does metal work. So since it is possible (and apparently cheap) did you have a blueprint or something to work with?

thanks much for answerin!

ok great, I'll look around for some pictures of SFC's under the car and see what we can do. I'd love to have this thing hold well around corners and have less flex (its a t-top)

thanks
