I am looking for someone to fix/ weld the seems back on my torque box (passenger side/ upper control arm), it has about a 3" tear. I also need someone to install/ weld the battle boxes and reinforment plates.

Anybody done this before? Where did you take it? What am I looking to spend?

Heard good stuff about both Spec-Fab & www.bigboyracing.com . I think Spec probably has more CAFords cars under his belt though [Big Grin]

I'm guessing the panhard bar keeps the rear centered and the torque arm supports it under torque loads?
