    I don't understand why connectors would be thought of as "eye candy". It may not be as extensive (or rigid) as back-halfing a car, but certainly better than transferring all the load through the floor and roof.
    Read what I said again.... My statement was subframe connectors that were not welded to the floor as well as the front and rear subframe structures are eye candy.....

    I shouldn't have mixed my response to BigTruckDriver and you together.... made it look like I thought you mentioned Alston. What threw me off was "The bolt on and the weld on's that just go under the floor or not much more then eye candy." Without cutting the car (notching the floor), my options are limited. Others with 65-69 Mustangs have noticed a considerable improvement with weld-ons... there's no way I would just bolt on a set.
