Getting ready for sub-connectors - 03/30/13 11:31 PM
Well, I've had these prototype US Car Tool subframe connectors sitting in in my garage since they hit the market (6-7 years ago?)
I'm finally ready to install them. I have my interior gutted, except for the dash and a seat so I can still drive it.
I just got back from the body shop and had them put the car on a lift and tram-gauge it to make sure everything is square and level. Everything is good.
They are letting me do the work at their shop on a weekend, so that will save me on the labor
My question is, since the car is pretty much at full weight and won't be on a rotisserie... is it better to weld these in with the car on a lift (suspension drooped), or to have the weight on the tires up on a lifted frame rack?
This will be my first installment of chassis rigidity.
