I'm installing a G-link for a mini-tub application and I'd like to see where I might need re-enforcements welded in. I will be running a roll bar and supports into the trunk to spread the load around, so I should have a little bit more strength into the rear end section of the car than a regular bolt-in/weld-in installation as Chassisworks recommends.
I don't have any pictures yet, the cracks are still hairline. I already had the cradle welded in and at the paint shop before I heard that this was happening, so I've been keeping a close eye on it. It is mini-tubbed, 4 point roll bar and the frame rails are the flawless originals. Once the Autorama is over with, I plan on addressing this problem. If you go to Vegas69 thread probably page 230 something, Todd has some pictures of his and another Camaro that this has happened to. In my opinion it is a flaw in the design that can easily be repaired, just sucks if your car is already done and the underside has nice paint on it.
