    Actually I am going to reinvent my connectors for my 71, I have figured a better way for really high horsepower cars without getting into floorpan work. 5 more years till retirement, I'll be making all kinds of stuff then for our cars.

    Hello
    I might be interested in a bolt on set if you get the design down. Please keep me in mind and let me know what comes of it. Thanks

    I have an idea that will really tie a car together. With some of the changes that occured on our cars through the build period, I am a little uncertain of how adaptable it will be to all years. So, with the 71, in which I am going to design it for, it might not be feasible for what I am trying to do with the cat hump cars. But since the Stallion is a 76, at least I can get both cars up in the air and see first hand of what needs to be done. What I am looking at doing is doing subframe connectors for the basically stock chassied cars. With the horsepower growing with new technology, we are going to start seeing some cars with 500+ hp more and more. That is what I am going to have on the 71, and I want to leave the car pretty much stock appearance wise, so it will need tied together in a much stronger fashion. But, I still need to strip the car, (November) build rotisserie (December). Bodywork ( ? ) and then I will get into building a liveable rollcage and seperate, but the option to tie into subframe connectors.
