    I welded in Global West’s.
    Why not add inner convertible rockers and the “extra” torque box?

    I think Daze's are the best.  I've even seen after market companies advertizing them.

    As for me, I have Maier Racing's connectors.  That was way before Daze designed his.  That is the Maier Racing before he was bought out.  He and I were on talking terms.  Great guy.  I think the new company might have some quality issues, but don't quote me.

    Tinman design  = Daze design

    It is what I have on my car and found them to be to my liking.  They flow with the existing subframes and look OEM to those who don't know better

    I had the Tinman's installed on my Mustang.  I agree, the Daze design is very similar to Tinman's.

    A 9’ length of 2”x2” 16 gauge steel tubing costs about 50 bucks!
