I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, I’m so glad you picked this up from me so you could bring it back to life.
Me too! I'm really glad someone didn't just finish the few things that were left and start driving it. Lots of missing hardware in important places.

Thank you, I've "finished" a few other builds so I'm pretty good about finishing the ones I'm passionate about. Current time frame is honestly going to be about two years at this rate. |

damn dude that looks amazing... great work. those arco bars and end pieces.. were they very pricey? do they feel strong? was thinking of using them for custom rearend mounts to put the ford 8.8 into my car but not sure if they are strong enough for that.. Steve |

I really like the custom subframe idea. I know its not really apples to apples because you are using 3kgt pumpkin, but do you think a tube subframe like that is a weight savings a over a stamped dsm one? Or is the strength of the tubing overpower any wieght savings? Looking really great |

Steve For something that's not already proven like these specific rod ends you'd want to do some math. Each manufacture has their rod end rated so you might be fine with these or have to change sizes depending what your end need is. Generally I'd go with aurora or FK rod ends but these should do fine for my application. |

I think it's worth about 30lbs and it just made life easier for the fabrication work. This subframe is for a dsm. I bought a car for the subframe and it turned out to be rotted and then bought another subframe after having several people flake and it ended up having missing and rusted components so at that point I was just over using a stock subframe.
Looking really great |
