73 Vega subframe connectors

I have my rear sub in and I am getting ready to
install the roll cage and subframe connectors.
I just
climbed under the car and am in a bit of a query as to
where the heck do you connect to the front. There is
really no frame anywhere to weld to. Has anyone done
this? I'm sure! Outboard rail?
Do I just pick a
likely spot and go for it?
Any help will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
blurat

If your installing a roll cage I would tie the
windshild bar and the front of the car at the rocker. The
rear Ideally would support the rear frame rail to the
real of the car as if it went straight through. I cut
my whole floor board to the floor and into the
dumpster and I cant remember if there was a rail there! It
wasn't much I can tell you that.

under wades wagon, it has a great set of photos on how
to install subframe conectors. hboa tech club photo
section under tony hallow theres some great picks on how
to install a cage as well.
