I can relate to the pic of your on it's side on the rotisserie. My 71 is similar.

Very nice!
Who's sub-frame connectors did you use?
I'm considering getting them as well..... or I may install the torque boxes instead.
I can see you have the front loader 8-3/4 rear axle..... what are your ratios? I'm running 3:23's with the A833 4 speed.

The sub-frame connectors were on the car when I bought it - but they did not look that way. They were the bolt on kind.
At the rear they sat below the rear frame rails and had plates that fastened them to the rear frame rail.
The problem with that is when viewing the car from the side you would see the frame connector peeking out from the underside.
So, I notched the floor and the rear frame rails and inserted the connector into them, now they look correct.

I also installed rear torque boxes that I bought from Resto Rick's.
I did just purchase front torque boxes - they are from Wilson Products.

I got them off a guy on Moparts.
As for the 8 3/4 rear - it is a 489 case with 3:23's.
I also have a 742 case with 3:55's as I am going 4 speed with mine.
