Everything’s got its warts, grandma used to say, and Mopar’s unibody design – albeit innovative and ahead of its time – had its drawbacks. Drag racers began cracking seams and sometimes even shattered back glass as their B- and E-bodies gained enough traction to twist the chassis. Sure, a stout roll-cage can prevent the worst of it, but most folks don’t want to have to crawl in and out of a ‘cage just to enjoy their car.
That’s why US Car Tool (USCT Motorsports) has worked so diligently to develop a multi-stage stiffening package that’ll keep your Mopar from becoming a pretzel. In a recent video, on-again-off-again MCM contributor David Kruk chats up John Paseman of US Car Tool about their subframe connectors!
“We cover proper installation, where the connectors are positioned, how they should be welded in, tips and tricks to make the job easier, and what to expect during the installation process,” David writes. “Whether you’re restoring a Mopar, building a restomod, or putting together a pro-touring car, subframe connectors are a great way to add strength and rigidity to a unibody chassis.”
This video takes a lot of the guesswork out of installing these necessary structural additions by providing you the viewer an almost elementary step-by-step tutorial on how to best install these laser-cut, American made subframe connectors. And while you’re at it, check out USCT Motorsports’ website to see which kit best fits your Mopar’s needs HERE.
