OK this may seem like an odd thread since our cars are full frame. I've been thinking about an alternative boxing the frame. My theory would be making square tube "sub frame" connectors that would consisting of an 2x3 tube running along the bottom of the middle being flush with the portion that the trans X-member bolts to (and could be used a mount point for the X-member.) There would be a 2x2 running along the top. Putting gussets at the ends to add strength. Even thought about adding like a strut between the top & bottom tubes for possible added strength & allow access to the O.E. hard line locations. Everytime I head out to the garage an look at the frame I think if that would be a functional idea or it would be a waste of time & resources. Figure see about some opinions on this idea since there are enough guys here who know the full weakness of the frame & other methods to add strenght & to make things stiffer.
