A lot of positive comments have already made.... I wanted to add mine.
SUBFRAME CONNECTORS, whether through the frame or or under the doors, can easily be tied to the new cross-member, creating an h-shaped frame under the car.
REAR FRAME RAILS, mounted above or below the rear floor, can be tied to this cross-member.
MINI-TUBBING an H-body requires that the Lower Control Arms be moved inboard. This cross-member could help mini-tub an H-body on a budget. This new cross-member would be a great place to attach relocated (and longer) LCAs. In another thread, someone showed how they moved the rear coil spring mounts inward 3" on each side on a Monza.
Combine the relocated coil springs and LCAs with this budget cross-member and a torque arm and you have a mini-tubbed H-body without breaking the bank.
I guess if i fabricated a solution that cool, it would be hard to stop welding:lol. Nice work.
