In January I started a new project on the talon. Decided to make a tubular rear subframe for the 3000GT rear end. This way I can put that rear end in an ideal location. When I used the OEM subframe I could not get the rear end mounted high enough. I should be able to save approximately 25 pounds. I used a little bit thicker wall chromoly 0.120" for additional strength. I also wanted to use urethane bushings that I had for the factory subframe. I still need to make tabs for the lower control arms. I'm excited that this is all coming together.
