Hi TB6P, Somemore great pics, thanks. Thats really got to make a huge difference to how tight
the car is going to feel! There will no longer be such a thing as jacking up "one corner" to change
a tire etc. It will be like my newer Stratus, the whole side of the car that the jack is under comes
off the ground, its that solid front to back!! Cool! :thumbs:  Jeff

Are the Mopar Performance, or Magnumforce frame connectors any good?

Hey Kyle, welcome, hope you are not really as your screen name says!!  :eekbig:
IMO, if you are going to go through the trouble of installing the connectors, I would just go with welded in style, the bolt in ones are probably helpful but if you are going to do some serious launches, then I would stick with the welded in ones, if not, then I believe the bolt in ones help somewhat. With the amount of flex that can occur if you really hook up good, I don't know how much twist the bolts can hold without giving somewhat. Just my own opinion though, not partial just because I made my own, I'm just stating what makes sense to me. There may be someone who has the bolt in ones who can answer your question better than I can. Good Luck!!

Well, I know a guy who has worked for several years in the parts dept at a Mopar dealership that handles Mopar Performance, he tells me they are "junk".
MOPAR or NO car!

Triple Black/ Mr Bill ,
                         
                            thanks for the heads up. I have little time and fabrication skills, so I was trying to find the easy route, which as a Mopar owner I should know does not exist. I have been trying to get my 440 "72 Challenger together for 5 years, but as you know "Life gets in the way of Living". Finding this board is a God send, as you know learning on your own is a tough one, especially when your only car friends are Chevy guys - AARRRGGHH!!! Over the years I have collected all the neccissary parts to put together an original looking car, but in the last year or two I have changed my direction, thus complicating my build. That's why I am DOOMED.

          Yeah, I'm in the picture - I am the guy on the far left with the "Bauhaus" t-shirt on. If you want to hear music or see the latest video, enter the site, and click on MEDIA. We have two songs posted on www.PureVolume.com, a video for the albums single, and a piece on the band that was done for www.Yahoo.com, all accessable through the site www.theblackmaria.com. Hope you dig it.

Kyle.
