And its suspicious that it had the exact same problem as your sub frame too, at least it sounds like it.

I'm sure you could cut and repair yours if you were an experienced fabricator, but depending on what those things cost it might be best to just get another one. hard to say. Good luck.

It is definitely Scott's subframe. He has a different swaybar/ front crossmember design.

Sorry to hear of your pain.....if its any consolation I suspect we are just the tip of the iceberg as far as Scott Mock's fabrication ability, or lack of, is concerned.

It's probably not what you want to hear but I think like myself, you'll be miles ahead by scrapping the subframe and using the C6 stuff with a frame from a reputable manufacturer, or selling the C6 stuff an going clean sheet. Its not worth your time, let alone the risk and liability of a having a failure. My frame was a absolute joke. The more I measured the more inconsistencies were uncovered, you'll fix one aspect and another will appear.

I must admit I did have a few doubts when initially considering Scott's designs, but the reputation he had on here at the time silenced those.....silly me. I was looking for a time efficient solution for weld in clip for an A Body frame, and he had one. You've got tons of good options for the F body - I'd be looking at those even if it means holding the project to get the funds together, you'll be much happier and confident in the end result.

All the best.
