what are you guys doing for the emergency brake? my sub-frame connectors are right where my cables ran up from the rear.
 
900.00? You must have got more stuff.
Heres what the sites says and whats included:
[h=1]Performance Pack..FJM-Body Mopar (ART-095)[/h][h=2]$339.95[/h]Our performance packs include a full set of four torque boxes and a set of subframe connectors for the ultimate structural strengthening. These products together improve the rigidity of the frame by more than 20%.

At the factory, torque boxes were known as “Hemi boxes” or “double floor plates”. They help prevent torsional flex in the unibody when starting and stopping rapidly. Ours are not factory-stamped clones for show car restorations, they're heavy-duty performance-oriented structural enhancements.

Subframe connectors connect the rear and front subframes to tie together and strengthen the entire frame. They were part of the original design for most Mopars, but were axed before the plans hit the factory to lower costs. A great addition to any Mopar, they're especially popular in high-performance vehicles and are absolutely essential for convertibles that lack the solid roof. Welding is required, we don't waste time with bolt-ins.
 
i did not do the welding, i had a local shop weld them on. after i seen there welding, i bought my welder.

the welding was cheap, free!
 
Approximately how much do you think a good shop would charge to install? I want to get the connectors eventually but don't have equipment, experience, or the room to do it myself. Thanks.

Did you ever come up with a solution for the E-brake cables? I see no replies here as to how to correct this issue. I'm also curious about this myself as I'm getting ready to order my frame connectors and would like to know what people have done about the cables. Thanks
 
never did get to the e brake issue yet. i've been kind of focused on putting the engine together. but i was just going to weld a piece of pipe through the connector at the proper angle and rig up an extension for the cable off the pedal. i'll have to shorten the big cable hoop from the drums but that wont be to hard.
