Re: fbody frame connectors
Common sizes available are .125" and .083" wall.
The .125 is more common. It's also heavy as crap. Use .083. Chassis places and suppliers likely to have it. Through the floor, and welded, will be more substantial in stiffening the car. Adding "outriggers" to the rockers provides even more rigidity and gives a location for the main hoop to be welded in with out using plates. It's also more work.
