Here Here!!! I've been looking for these. I think they have to be custom made. I may have to drive my car the 220 miles to Norfolk, VA for the closest place that is willing to make them. If anybody has any info about this it would be greatly appreciated!
You will have to do them yourself, but they aren't very hard.
We used 2x2 stock with a 1/8 wall, tough stuff!! The shop did a great job and quite creative. 2x3 was twice as expensive for stock and would have required cutting the floor. 2x2 only required trimming a rib by the seat mounts.
They went in when the sub frame was still free and a receiver was grafted onto the subframe so if the unthinkable happens, the sub frame can still be removed. The bolts were used to position and once everything was good the fronts were welded with a couple stitches, which could later be ground off is needed. The torque boxes were pealed back and redone. The rear mount for the connectors was under the torque boxes. In the end they make contact with the subframe, floor pan under the backseat foot area, and the rear frame rails under the torque boxes.
It is hard to say which modification made the biggest difference, but with the connectors, 17" wheels and front sway, the Fury handles like a dream with a modern feel and amazing cornering!

Look closer to the left of the posted link. In the Margin on the left it list Subframe connectors C body 1968 to 1974 I think or something like that for $118.95 or close to that. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Tue Mar 20 2007, 07:37PM ]</span>
I've got the Autorust SFC's in my Valiant, and they're nice pieces. The 2x2x1/8" tube isn't magic, but knowing how & where to cut the tubing to fit the undercarriage is. I didn't mind paying extra for the set I have (or the set for my Barracuda), but I'll probably make the next set I do. Until I see something better than what NFURY8 did on his ride, that's my plan.
