I'm interested in installing subframe connectors on my 1980 T-bird. Does anyone know of a source to get the weld in bars? I did find a set for around $200- ouch! I wondered if any of the other fox body bars would work? Has anyone done this? With all my searching, I only found them at one place. http://www.globalwest.net/mustang%2079-98.htm

Your best bet might be to go to a local welder/fabricator and have then make you a set of weld in ones. There isin't much to them and you can buy a lot of 2x3" rectangular tubing for $200.00. I am not surprised at the lack of availability, you might want to check a Fairmont set and see if you can get any dimensions and compare them to your chassis. Good Luck!!
