Should I install Sub frame connectors in my 68 XS Track Pack car?

[mopar_nut_440_6]

Looks good ..I am putting the connectors in this weekend..from USCARTool as well.. The reason i picked theirs is they have drain holes and I have a undercoat gun with flexible tip that will reach inside after install and paint with undercoat.. Torque boxes next.. Has anyone commented about installing these SubConnectors with the car upside down? i mean that is not exactly "loaded" correctly.. Did you tack them first then rotate..?

After a few hours per side of grinding and fitting I snugged them up on the rear so they had an interference fit and clamped the front. I then rotated the car horizontal and used a jack to snug them against the floor and tacked them. Once tacked I rotated the car on its side and finished the welding.

I will have to check into getting a flexible tip for my undercoating gun. Sounds like a good idea. I used a ton of weld thru primer prior to install but would not mind getting more into them as well as the rest of the rails. Where can a guy pick one up?

Good luck with them. They look great and with the torque boxes appear to be very tough. I also added a 3/4 inch tube for the emergency brake cable to run through rather than just holes. If you are considering doing this I would complete this prior to install if working underneath. I also added rear spring reinforcement plates made out of 1/8 plate at the rear of the spring just behind the shackles for extra strength as I will be running slicks on the car at some point and it will be leaving quite hard with a standard tranny.

Here is a link to the other upgrades.

I hope this helps. Be prepared to spend a lot of time fitting!
