Frame Connectors

We are looking at the same type of deal as you. A ground up restify of an 81 z28 t-top car. NOT a race car. Just want to tighten the car up more because of the t-tops. We are looking at the Alston ones that are round tube and attach to the side of the subframe and conform to the floor pan making them almost invisible. The Hotchkiss stuff is square tube and attaches in the conventional manner as all the others but conforms to the floor pan and it too is less noticeable. I couldn't say which is more effective as a bolt in but certainly has to be an improvement over nothing. The key here for us is hiding them rather than something hanging down. On my race car they are welded and tied to the main hoop, wouldn't do it any other way on a race car.
