I have a 66 coupe that is starting to show cracks at the rear quarter window area. I hear this is a common problem.
I also hear that it is real easy to install subframe connectors to remedy this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on what size steel to use for best results. I have a mig welding machine and feel i just need a few tips on this subject.
I plan on mostly road racing and a roll bar will be in the near future. But a few passes at the STRIP are not out of the question!
