    Hi guys was wondering about some ideas to tie my front and rear together. Along the lines of sub frame connectors,but keep the metal hidden by the floor pan and sub frame . Also want to move my springs inwards in the back. The car is a 74 grabber it's orange with a 72 hood (black) and sports dogdish hub caps with beauty rings. The power plant is a .030 over mid80's 302. It does have a reverse manual vb c-4 transmission also 80's truck trans. When i build my 8" locker I want to mount it securely in this ole car. The other mod is mounting a set of 77 maverick disc brakes also ball joints. I haven't driven the car much over the past 4 years, really miss chirping 3rd at 85mph :drive: I really enjoy seeing the members cars on this site there great! Thank you for any all help.:D

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Check out the tech article section. There's a mini tub article. :) If you wanna hide the connectors i think your going to have to make some that go through the floor.
