weld frame to car?
so why does'nt anyone weld there subframe to there camaro? everyone welds in the subframe connectors or atleast alot of people do. so what are the pros and cons of this beyond the obvious not being able to remove it. i remember seeing a a cude a while back in hotrod that had an art morrison frame welded to the body so i think it would work

Most people use solid bushings when they weld in the subframe connectors. Since the bushings don't compress and the bolts hold the frame rather well it is almost the same as the subframe being welded in place.

We weld our's in.
We make steel bushing,square it all up, tighten the bolts, an weld them to the frame an the floor. Then to the frame connectors.
You dont have to worry about movement then.

So with the evidence above, who is this "anyone" you are referring to?

I thought you welded them in , but never looked.
