Other thans Crites I haven't been able to find anyone that has a set of subframe connectors that would fit a 62 Comet. I see the tubular set from Global West Suspension for a Falcon, is there any reason those wouldn't work on a Comet? The front connection is boxed in and the rear is a L bracket

The 60-63 front and rear suspension subframes are offset by @ 3". 1 X 3" box tubing and a few lengths of angle steel can be used for a fairly simple fabrication of connectors. Be sure the cross body pan braces are tied in to them for maximum rigidity. I also tied in the rear spring front eye brackets and fortified the rear engine crossmember .

Imo power band has it right.
Other members as well have said they need to be welded in and pick up the floor as well.
If a unibody is flexing everything is moving so everything needs to be tied down.
Some tubing, a mig and some time makes a solid car.
I seen a poster somewhere that kinda says it.
KEEP AMERICA STRONG - WELD IT!
Although Im not American I do agree.
