Smith Racecraft sub-frames
 
Just wondering if many guys are running them. How were they to install

Bolts right in if you car isn’t bent.

Ours went right in.Just had to trim the frame connector up front.

Got a smoking deal on it,so even if it was a bitch,it would have been worth it.

Any idea on weight savings?

Brian if you already have tubular control arms, rack, etc. it's about 80lbs. I just had this conversation with Jeff Kinsler on Friday. Lol

Cool thx!
Wish someone made a 2nd gen rad support like you guys have. That'd knockoff more weight

Call Ron at Rhodes Custom Auto. 302-378-1701. Not sure if he is interested in doing one, but it would be worth a call. Who knows, he might have already done one.

With just the Smith frame,no control arms,I can pick it up and carry it no problem.

When my bud and I put the stock frame,with control arms in my truck,we could barely lift it.

We are currently still looking for our nuts in his driveway.

Worth the investment in my opinion.

We got ours from Jeff Mill,Mills588,over on Yellowbullet.He really took care of us.

Looks like that would get rid of a lot of weight!

Didn't he do one for Bruce's old car?

Pricing is on their site. Depends on the options but imo it's very reasonable.
