Default Re: Day 2 Vega

I grafted 1 3/4" chromoly tubing from the rear subframe to the front. (I use the term subframe loosely..lol)
You can see some pictures of them on page one. The rear floor is sliced and the rear portion of the bar passes up into it.
I don't believe Motion did anything at all to their cars. I have never saw a picture of even a subframe connector being added.
Keep in mind, I'm building this car to pretty much appear as it would have back in the day. If I was going to lean on it with slicks while side stepping the clutch, I would have done a ton of chassis bracing to the car. Cage, welding all structure panel seams solid, etc.
The front end is going to be kept stock with the exception of heavier springs and the S-10 spindle / brake conversion.
