Like it says, anyone have pics of US car tool subframe and inner fender brace install?  I am trying to get a picture as my welder is saying the subframes fit like crap and is saying the inner fender braces are too short to install as the only pic I found online was of the XV inner fender braces, I am sure a pic would help us sort this out.  Thanks :2thumbs:

My body guys did say it took a couple hours of massaging to get them where they wanted them, but overall were very pleased with the product and result.

A couple more pics in my resto thread;

Sorry I didn't get the fender braces, I don't think they even offered them when I got the SF connectors.

 I did my frame connectors a little different than most. I welded steel in between the top open parts in spaced out areas and then plug welded them from the top,as to not have the solid weld looking non stock. If I were planning to undercoat the car the solid weld would not bother me,but with the shiny paint I think this looks more at home.

Brian (1HotDaytona) also did my sub frame connectors - but welded all the way. They were not an exact fit but my car will be undercoated and I can't imagine that anyone will notice any gaps. It certainly won't hurt the performance. I did not use their inner fender braces.






Be sure to add a hole for the parking brake cable!

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Nice.  So you welded them from inside the car.

Forgot to ask the people who have the inner fender braces would they cause any clearance issues with big tires or if you lower the front end or have air suspension?
