George, RB'S has a weld in front clip that I belive is the best of the
camaro idea, it is a fabricated assy that has what has to be the most fool
proof system of alignment before welding that I have seen yet. This subframe
also uses the componets from '78 to '88 GM "A" or "G" body cars.Yes it is
more expensive than a used subframe assy, but you would save yourself a lot
of grief in the long run. As soon as I have the the money in hand I will be
ordering one for my '58 Chevy step-side.
