How much fabrication skill you have and what type of equipment you have access to , along with your wallet,would be the deciding factor in that...in my opinion just use the frame conectors. BUT I think I read in another thread that your father has an altered, so something tells me you have access to some guys with some experience at this .

DONT WANT TO BASH THE GUY BUILDING THE CAR , ITS JUST GOING TO NEED A LOT TO STRENGHTEN THAT THING UP . I HAD A MAVERICK ,TOWERS COLAPSED INTO THE ENGINE, THAT WAS WITH A 200 INLINE SIX. A FOX BODY MUSTANG WOULD BE ALOT EASIER TO WORK WITH. JMO :idea:
