Hi, 65 Bel II convertible on the rotisserier prepping for paint. Sheet metal work done after replacing inner/outer rear wheel wells, rear quarters and door skins.Painting black with red interior electing to use a 64 dash with push buttons. Expect to install fresh block wedge motor mid April.

Thanks for looking,

Robert

No subframe connectors-on a rag top?

493 Mike is right….tie that frame

I put a set of U.S.Car Tool connectors in my 4-door hardtop, since it does not have a full "B" pillar that connects to the roof structure. They are contoured to the floor pan, and weld to it. The beauty of an early B-body is that the E-brake cables are all inside the connectors, and do not require passage through them. I wish I had put them on my '64 Polara 500 convertible that I restored, but I was going for a factory correct look with it.

It’s the perfect time to put them in!

If you don't want to buy frame connectors you can make them from square or rectangular tubing.
