Thanks for the pictures!! Since these are now installed, we do not get a sense of the level of work you had to do, but I am left with one question for Rob (ragtopdodge ).
In the earlier post you stated your car had original pans - the pictures show a car with lots of welds and what looks like the dimples one see's in the new (reproduction) floor pans - curious which it is?
John P.
Original floor pans. Well...as long as I've owned the car (since 1987).
Just added a ton of welds everywhere to help stiffen things up some.

Hi all, new here, I installed the XV SubFrame connectors on my 69 charger, there was some grinding to do and had to press the floor pan down before welding for a good fit, but I expected that in a 40 year old car. My car's drivers side was the worse fit, as someone had used a jack on that side. I have install pics at http://www.jkruse.com/_Project_Sinister_69/Bodywork.htmlI update the site a lot and right now I am installed the front and rear level II units with brakes from XV, hope it helps! -J

Hey Guys, Sure fit way to do this is. Take some rect. tubing (taller than the tallest demension needed), Measure the narrowest dimension (at the rear attachment pt.) level & attach the tube that same amount off the floor pan. Lets say it's 2". Mark the tube at the front 2" off the bottom edge. Now take a compass (for drawing circles) & starting at the rear of the pan, run the pointed tip against the pan & the pecil on your tube. Do this to the front of the pan & you will have a line that matches the floor pan perfectly. You have to make sure that the compass stays perpendicular to the tube, or the line won't be consistent. Cut on the line with a jig saw or plasma & you're go-to-go.

I tried to sell my US Car Tool sub frame connectors to a friend that builds cars, he is building a 73 Challenger now. He said ya sure I'll us the connectors, so I brought them up to his shop and this what he gave me back. He also said thanks but no thanks.

Maybe they are for a different car the floors have round strength ribs and the subs are very sharp angles. I don't have the time to mess around with $200.00 pieces of ill fitting steel, when I can do it in less time with tube steel through the floor and for $20.00 in materials. Little disappointed.
