I have shock mounts in the pipeline(parts ordered), 2.3T and 5.0 mounts (being welded), and need to get on the caster plates I mentioned previously and see what those will take to get done.

You keep making them, and I'll keep rebuilding my car with them

This might sound like a dumb question but im going to ask anyway. I see subframe connector braces. Where can I get subframe connectors and usually what is a good price for them. I did a search on here but maybe I didnt look good enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Well the point of these is to use them to make your own.

For TBirds/Cougars, all you need is a straight piece of steel at least 5' long and you have SFC's.  These just are that added bonus to complete the package. 

You should be able to source main tube material locally.

I think you can use mustang SFCs and hack the seat braces off and use Chuck's in there place.
I got 10' 2x2 1/8 inch wall tubing for about $50

Only if the main tubes are straight and not offset and at least 2" wide....
