Need some reassurance.

I'm getting all my parts together to finally get my car rebuilt. My problem is, I'm running out of money fast. I know that these cars flex bad, and the unibody will twist like crazy w/o subframe connectors. I will be ok as long as I don't try to stick til I can get some connectors on there right? I'm gonna switch my Nitto's out for my regular street tires as soon as I get her going again. Any input is appreciated.

You should be just fine as long as your not on a race track trying to pull over 1g with it daily or launching on slicks at every
stoplight with the tach sitting at red line. So try not to lose to much sleep over it and enjoy your ride till you can install some later.

Thanks for the assurance. I guess it is still fun to burn a 100ft. blackmark right?? At least until I can get some stiffness in the frame.

You will be fine without subframe connectors, and can do whatever you want in you car until you can afford them. Just have fun. It will not twist up your body in a couple weeks or months.
