Has anyone made their own subframe connectors?
It seems that there isnt much to the weld in connectors. It would be a lot cheaper to just go buy the steel and weld it in. Any comments?

Thanks for the plans, I am having some problems picturing waht they look like on the car, You wouldn't have any pictures of them on the car.
Thanks

The "Sub Frame" on the 87 Z28 Convertibles are welded to the Uni-body already, no rubber mounts at all. Every add for these sub frame connector claim "Not for Convertibles". Any body ever come across this? I want to make sure the body can handle more horsepower, it's a heavy car and only has the stock LG-4, 160hp carberated engine. It needs more power
